It's your duty just as much as paying taxes is.
I am not sure how I feel about this. I partially agree, but I think that in order for this to be true your vote needs to be "informed". If you are just going into the voting booth and arbitrarily picking someone you are not helping. Of course, this brings up the question of what an "informed" vote is, and who has been doing the "informing". I think that everyone should vote but if you don't know anything about the candidates or platforms perhaps you have a duty to not vote.
