Question

responsibilities and participation
registering to vote

• requirements: people become eligible to vote provided they are a u.s. citizen and of age 18 or older.
• restrictions: some states do not allow voting for anyone who has committed a felony. check with your state election office to find out how a conviction impacts voting rights in your state.
• registration: a voter registration form can be filled out at the county board of elections, or often with the aid of a high school government/government or social studies teacher.

remember: you cannot vote unless you are registered, so be aware of your state’s registration deadlines.
voting options

• in - person voting: anyone registered to vote may only vote at their assigned polling place
• check with your state’s election office to find the location of your polling place, and an arm of your civic responsibility (hint: 16)
• absentee voting: if you are unable to vote in person, you may request an absentee ballot from your board of elections and vote by mail.
• early voting: some states provide the option of voting early at designated locations on or before the board of elections before election day.

in order to vote, what must a person do prior to election day?

• be over 21 years of age
• register with the board of elections
• obtain a seal on their registration card

Explanation:

• The voting age in the U.S. is 18, not 21, so the first option is incorrect.
• A seal on the registration card is not a universal required step prior to Election Day.
• Registering with the board of elections (or relevant election authority) is a mandatory prerequisite to vote in U.S. elections, as confirmed by the left-side text's "Registration" section.

Answer:

B. register with the board of elections
