You don't need to be 18 in order to register, you just need to 18 by the next election. Even if you're 17 but will be 18 by Nov. 8, make sure you register to vote today so you can vote in this presidential election! Often you can register to vote online and it's a very easy process.

3. Vote in an upcoming election.

With the election coming up this November, make sure you cast your vote: Whether it be for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson or another third-party candidate. None of us may have been alive to know what it was like before women could vote, but we have a duty to honor the past by casting our vote in the present in order to secure a promising future. In addition to this election, find out when your local elections are and vote in those, too!
