    Voter’s Ed Webinar

    Voter Ed is the civic and voter education program of Spread The Vote. Voter Education is intended to
    assist Spread The Vote in its mission of closing the gap between registered voters and voter turnout by
    educating and energizing voters. Voter Ed will answer a frequently asked voter question about the
    voting and political process each month to engage the voting population and support discussions about
    voting 365 days a year. Voter Ed was created to address the scarcity of resources for adults who want to
    be civically engaged but need to learn the basics of voting and the democratic process. Voting is one
    important way that we can participate in our democracy. In order to vote for President in a federal
    election, a citizen must be 18 or older. Besides voting for officials, we also vote on issues. Voters may
    want to make changes to their community, such as building biggest schools or adding new roads. We
    can contact our government officials when we want to support or change a law. Citizens in a
    representative democracy have the right to vote freely and informedly, and those choices must be
    guided by the genuine welfare of the majority. Every individual political decision and choice made by
    citizen voters will determine the type of government that will serve them.

    We must vote in the May elections as responsible citizens. "Voting wisely" necessitates a thorough
    understanding of both the Biblical duty and the civic responsibility of voting. Some voters choose
    candidates based on political party affiliation. Others, as in bloc voting, support candidates based on
    their religious affiliations. When we become more aware of the value of a single vote, we gain a better
    understanding that all of our votes are cast not for politicians, but for God and country. "Let each citizen
    remember at the moment he offers his vote...that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in
    human society for which he is accountable to God and his country," writes Samuel Adams, one of
    America's Founding Fathers. Thus, in the Philippines, wise voting during the midterm elections should
    not be based on endorsements or whether the candidate is from the opposition-led "Otso Diretso" or
    the Duterte-backed PDP-Laban Party. In my opinion, both parties have deserving candidates. Voting
    wisely transcends political or religious affiliations because we are accountable to God and country for
    our vote. We must first determine how these candidates regard God and country. "But select capable
    men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint
    them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens," the Bible says in Exodus 18:21.

    To learn about the candidates' principles, voters must first understand (1) what the candidates have said
    in the past or during the campaign, and (2) who the candidates are associated with. Talk is cheap during
    campaign rallies, so these candidates promise so much but deliver so little when they take office. As a
    result, a wise voter requires the gift of discernment to weed out candidates who are willing to lie for a
    moment or take a different stand than what he is known for in order to be elected.
