How many elections have you voted in?

You were voting before I was born?

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.

Far more than the rest of you!

I wouldn't quite say 'far' more than the rest. Perhaps far more than most of the rest.

General elections: 17 (this Tues is #18)
Municipal/School board elections (odd numbered years): 14

I had the advantage of the voting age change, so I started in 1976.
