Can I Vote?
Leo stood on tiptoe, looking at the line of people inside the community center."What are all these people doing?" he asked his mom.
"They're here to vote, like us," said his mom.
"They're all going to help pick the next president?" asked Leo.
"The president and the other people in the government," said his dad.
Leo and his parents waited in line.As they moved closer to the front, Leo saw several people writing at a table.
"Are they voting?" he asked his parents.
"Not yet," said his mom."That table is for voter registration.You have to register before you can vote.Your dad and I registered already, so when it's our turn, we can go straight to those booths."She pointed at a row of booths with curtains around them.
"Then what happens?" Leo asked.
"There's a computer inside the booth," said Dad."The computer will record our votes."
"Cool," said Leo."I wish I could vote, too."
"Sorry, Leo," said Mom."You can't vote yet.You'll have to wait until you're eighteen."
"I know," said Leo."It's not fair."
"Voting is a big responsibility," said Dad."That's why only adults can vote."
They reached the front of the line.Leo's parents went into the booths.As he waited for them, Leo thought, I still want to vote.
