What do you remember about the first time you voted?
It was a primary, and my mother and I went in together. I hurried toward the Democrat table and she turned toward the Republican table. One of the volunteers called out her name and said (judgementally), “Your daughter’s a Democrat?!” for all to hear. My mom turned to me and said milldly, “Are you a Democrat?” I said “Yes. Are you a Republican?” “Yes.” We both continued on our way, I was so proud of how cool my mother was.

What do you remember about the first time you voted?
The first time I voted I had a strong memory of my father who wore a suit when he went to vote. He was an immigrant and a “blue collar” worker. Wearing a suit meant it was impotant to him. And he dressed in a suit every time he voted.

What do you remember about the first time you voted?
The first time I voted was probably in elementary school. I was in 2nd grade and I was voting for the student council president, vice president, and secretary. Luckily, my friends had older siblings running for each position so I just voted for them. Only the one running for secretary won, though.
