What truly differentiates citizens of America from most others throughout the world is our fundamental right and responsibility to participate in the free and fair elections of our local, state and federal government leaders. Exercising this inalienable right assures our best chance to sustain a government that can preserve, protect and defend our constitutionally guaranteed rights as American citizens. It is the single best way to hold our government officials and leaders accountable to the citizens they have sworn an oath to serve. Accordingly, the Shelby County Republican Party works each and every day to encourage citizens to register to vote and exercise their voting rights continually. Party members are encouraged to engage their families, friends, neighbors and co-workers to participate fully in our nation’s election process.
