If you are in the US, what is the first presidential election that you took part in? If you are elsewhere, what was a memorable election for you?

*As I post this, it is ten days and sixteen hours to that day-of-days, November 8th, the 58th quadricennial US Presidential election!

No question which was my most memorable election.

In 1975 the Australian Governor General, acting on the authority of the English queen, sacked an elected Australian government and called an election.

This was done when the leader of the party then in opposition and the GG conspired to put the conservatives into power.

It was constitutional, but it also underlined the hidden power of the monarchy to control the government in Australia. As you can imagine, there was outrage among the people who had voted for the dismissed government.

That event should have paved the way for an Australian republic but, alas, the moment slipped by and is now history.

1980 im a registered democrat. But after gas lines had to vote for reagan

Oh mine was VERY memorable...... I was in the actual voting booth and my dad kept calling me over and over cuz he could not hear me when I would quickly answer and say "I can't talk. I am voting." He was reminding me to vote for Bush! I finally had to raise my voice and say "DAD!!!! I am in the voting booth now! Stop calling me!" LOL!

Nixon vs Humphrey, 1968.
