While Scarleteen serves an international readership, we are based in the United States, and our country of residence greatly impacts our organization and around half of our users. The United States Presidential Election is just around the corner, so it's time again for those of us at Scarleteen to do what we can to help our users best participate in this important aspect of the democratic process.
Many of you are first-time voters this year: mazel tov! Welcome to your right to vote (sorry you had to wait so long!), and we sincerely hope you'll exercise it. We provide this nonpartisan guide to best help you do just that. In it, you'll find links to the major candidates and parties, a basic rundown of the major candidates' positions and records on central issues, some listed supporters and endorsements for the candidates, and more extensive information on where they stand on issues central to what we do here at Scarleteen.
Take a look through these materials, then spend some time looking at the party platforms and each of the candidate's websites, and keep up with the news as best you can. This guide is jam-packed with links that will lead you to more information on the candidates, so if you just keep clicking, you're going to become an expert in no time. Even if you're not yet of age to vote, go on and inform yourself: you can use this information in talking to your siblings, parents or grandparents whose vote will impact you.
Any time we vote, we don't just vote for ourselves as individuals, but for all our fellow citizens, even those who are radically different than we are. In alignment with our core values here at Scarleteen -- things like compassion, fairness, inclusion, equality and the health and well-being of everyone -- we feel that how you vote is as important as if you vote, and would implore you to be civic-minded in your voting choices.

Even at this late stage of the campaign, some of the candidates have been stating differences in opinion or plans, so we will update stances as needed.)
The Candidates on Our Issues
Following are rundowns of the primary candidates positions and records on issues central to Scarleteen and our readers: healthcare, women's rights, reproductive rights, civil rights, GLBT rights, access to contraception, sex and general education as well as some other issues particularly pertinent to youth, like the minimum wage and censorship. You'll also find lots of links nestled into the text, so if you aren't familiar with a given act, bill or issue, you'll be able to get up-to-speed with a click.
The listing of only two parties should not be interpreted as our support of a two-party system. Rather, we have listed the rundown for only the major two candidates simply because of time and resource limitations: our apologies. We have also included a link to the basic pages on the records and views on the issues for Biden, Palin, McKinney and Barr following these listings.
