What is voting?

Voting is when everyone gets to pick their favorite option in a group decision.

Imagine you and your friends are choosing what game to play at recess. Instead of just letting one person decide, voting lets everyone say what they like best. Each person gets to cast a vote, which is like putting a sticker on their favorite choice. After all the votes are counted, the option with the most stickers wins, that’s the choice the whole group makes together.

When you vote, you're helping decide something important. It's like being part of a team where everyone gets to speak up. In bigger groups, like in a school or even a country, people use voting to pick leaders or choose rules.

Voting feels fair because every person’s opinion matters. You don’t have to shout the loudest, you just need to show your favorite choice. It's like having a big, friendly competition where everyone gets to play!
