Critical Vote Theory

We use the term Critical Vote Theory (CVT) to show that voting is more than a civic responsibility.  It is a moral imperative. Voting ensures inclusion of the values of all citizens in the governing process. Protecting voting rights is also a moral imperative requiring individuals and organizations to fight the injustices brought by governments, institutions and other structures seeking to deny people their right to vote.
