We vote for people we don’t know because they make choices that affect us all. Imagine a big school where everyone picks a class president, but the president has never met most of the students, that’s how voting works in real life. We choose leaders who can help make things better in our city or country even if we’ve never talked to them.
Examples
- Voting is like picking a teacher for your class, even though you don’t know them well.
- You choose someone to be the head of a big team, even if they've never met most of the members.
