1
Become one with a leaflet.
By that we mean you can volunteer with a campaign. If you really like what a candidate stands for, offer to help him or her out. Candidates always need help passing out leaflets and answering phones.
2
Register other folks.
Even if you're not old enough to register to vote, you can still work in your high school or community to help others who are not yet registered.
3
E-vote.
Groups like KidsVotingUSA have set up mock elections, so that even if you aren't old enough to actually vote, you can participate and follow the races.
4
Run for office.
We don't necessarily mean running for an actual government position, but you could try class president, art club secretary or school board student representative -- the more you learn about elections, the better prepared you will be to vote.
5
Go behind the curtain.
By all means,if you're old enough, vote -- if not, go with your parents or a friend or teacher, just to see how it's done and take some of the mystery out of the process.
6
Write a letter to the editor.
Voice your concerns about an issue or sing praises of your favorite candidate to your school or local newspaper.
7
Volunteer at your local polling center.
On the day of elections volunteers are needed to help people at the voting booths. Why not step in to lend a hand?
8
Play the Political Mating Game.
Go to the website for Project Vote Smart. If you don't know who you should vote for, they've got a quiz that can match you up with a candidate.
9
Ask questions.
If you want information from a candidate, ask for it. Contact the official campaign headquarters. Most have websites with contact information.
10
Listen to a candidate speak.
You never know who might end up representing you, so check them the full slate of candidates.
