I have voted in every presidential election -- Jimmy Carter, LOL! -- since turning 18. I was part of the first group of Americans to be given the right to vote at age 18 and have always done so. This right does not exist in every country and I take it seriously.

Midterm elections, no, I don't always make it over there.
