I already registered to vote two years ago. I keep being told my time to register is running out. Do I need to re-register? I can’t find anything which answers this question.

If you haven’t moved you do not need to update it. You don’t need to re register every election.

Confirm your voter registration right here: https://www.headcount.org/verify-voter-registration/

So I recently moved across the state so my ID says my old address but I live in another city (for college). Although I’ve already changed my address on the voter registration, what do I need to bring to the polling place to prove I’m a resident in this new town?

Find out what you need to prove residence here, often times it doesn’t have to be the state issued ID if you have other documents https://www.headcount.org/voter-id/

How does the fact that Americans vote for the presidential candidate and their policies instead of the party and their policies affect elections and the democracy positively

Historically it has allowed for parties to cover a broad spectrum of interests and have more diverse stances on issues

Why do we have to be subjected to a two-party system?

The nature of our elections and legislature incentivize two parties, but we can vote for whoever we want to. Parties change and you can do whatever you want for other parties to have politicians better reflect your values!

Is it better to vote for an inexperienced candidate with your shared beliefs or an experienced candidate with connections who doesn't represent your beliefs?

Honestly this is tough and something I wrestle with for almost every election. In voting, like life, there never are easy answers. But I’d advise digging deep in yourself and do what feels right.

And if you vote for someone and don’t like what they do, don’t worry, you can just vote against them the next time!
