The only time I've voted was in the Canadian federal election in January 2006. I voted for Stephen Harper, because back then I didn't expect to be on welfare, or be a criminal, so I decided that he had the most to offer me. :)

I have never voted, because I can't really trust in the candidates

I never vote in things I believe will affect anyone in any way.
I simply do not accept the concept of a "right" to vote.

Me too, but my candidates have never won in the presidential race, so maybe I should vote for whom I hate.

It is in Costa Rica too. Mate is from there.
I have never understood how one could be compulsed to vote?
It could be good, better representation of what majority wants, but could get alot of votes for popular, rich, charisma instead of research and really wanting to vote for a candidate.

I've never been old enough to vote in a presidential election. It'll be nice that I will be able to next year however I also feel that it's kind of pointless considering popular vote doesn't matter in the US. California is going to go democrat whether I vote or not.

That's why I used to vote for Ralph Nader. Better to vote for an Aspie or an issue and make a point since it doesn't affect the outcome.
