2. Stay Engaged: During longer election cycles, it can be easy to tune out. But remember, these are consequential decisions that impact many areas of life. Stay alert and engaged in the process, keeping in mind the potential effects of the election on economic, environmental, social, and international affairs.
3. Critically Evaluate: Negative campaigning can muddy the waters and obscure the truth. Scrutinize claims critically, fact-check statements made in ads or by candidates, and focus on the substantive issues.
4. Vote: Above all, exercise your right to vote! Every vote matters and contributes to shaping the future of the country.
5. Encourage Others: Urge friends, family, and colleagues to also stay informed, critically evaluate information, and vote.
