Why is it important to participate in the Student Election process by voting? That's an interesting question with several different ways in which to answer it. Voting is the foremost way to exhibit good student and civil responsibility.
Voting in free elections is a right that should not be taken lightly. Voting is a patriotic act and every student should participate. By voting, a person conveys that sense of patriotism that he/she cares enough about the direction of the university to exercise the power available to millions and millions of student to make their voices heard.
No matter how much a student feels their single vote does not count, they are dead wrong. If every student believes that his or her vote doesn't matter, the sheer volume of non-voters will destroy the democratic process.
Everyone should recognize the importance of voting and act accordingly. Rather than just sit back and complain when something the university administration does isn't in your best interest, get out and vote and make a difference. Eligible voters who refuse to do so have absolutely no right to complain when they did nothing at all to protect their interests when they have that exact power.
