How many elections have you voted in?

[Joe Biden 2020]

General Elections only, no primaries and no special elections.

For me, I have been voting since 2000, so I am starting my second decade of voting which means I have voted in 6 general elections.  3 Presidential and 3 Mid-Terms.

Now, I know those under 18 years old have never voted, so in that case what year do you plan on casting your first ballot?

You were voting before I was born?

My first election was in 1972, when I turned 21. The voting age had not yet dropped to 18 in 1970 (a vote which I witnessed sitting in the House gallery as a college freshman, and opposed at the time, and still tend to oppose actually, although I understand that all resistance is futile).

I believe my mother and dad started voting in the 1974 mid-terms and they both registered Republicans, which repulsed my grandmother, who was a Democrat at the time.  That same grandmother switched parties in the late 1980s and is repulsed that her grandson (me) would be a registered Democrat.
