Join a political party, if you wish to. Political parties work together to elect officials who hold their beliefs. Based on your own beliefs, values, and ideas for government, choose the party that is right for you (if any). Register to join the party of your choosing with your regional board of elections. You may be able to register for your chosen party (if any) when you register to vote. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/95\/Get-a-Court-Order-Step-6-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-a-Court-Order-Step-6-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/95\/Get-a-Court-Order-Step-6-Version-2.jpg\/aid445390-v4-728px-Get-a-Court-Order-Step-6-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Attend meetings. City council, board of education, and other board meetings are typically open to the public. As boring as they might sound to some people, they will help you understand the inner workings of your government and see your representatives in action. Some meetings allow for audience input.
