Need even more inspiration to vote? Check out the women who fought for your right to do so, and the ones still fighting today.

Yeah, we know the system’s not perfect, but at least take some comfort from the fact that we can.

If you’re convinced the system is wrong and have consciously opted out from voting (or even if you are going to vote), then at the very least do something today to help change things. Show your support for the campaign to lower the voting age to 16, or sign the petition at the Electoral Reform Society’s campaign, “Make My Vote Count”.
