INTRODUCTION
(Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Attention)
1. So, do you ever vote before?

2. Have you registered your name to vote?
3. All of us are familiar with voting. However, when it comes to vote in state or in general
election, people mostly do not even care to vote.
4. Well, nobody can force citizens to vote.
(a) Undoubtedly, there are some citizens do vote, because voting encourage them to tell
what the government should do.
i. If citizens think they are paying too many taxes, they can vote for the person who
promises to lower taxes.
ii. If citizens want more services, they can vote for someone who will promise to
spend funds to gain more services.
5. According to Munsey (2008), there are two types of voters.
(a) Election-specific voters, who are motivated by a particular candidate or issue.
(b) Habitual voters, who consistently show up to vote in every election.
i. Voting habit may be activated by such election cues as other people talking
about politics or candidate signs.
6. Which voter are you?
7. Nevertheless,is our right as citizen to vote is guaranteed by any law in our country
Malaysia? Yes.
(a) According to Vanar, M. and Sario, R. (2010), it is reported that as many as 4.3
million eligible voters have not registered themselves with the Election Commission
and many of them are young people who have just reached twenty-one years old.
8. Every vote counts. An election might be decided by a single vote and history would be
changed because a person either win or lose that one vote.
9. After doing several researches on this topic, it made me realize that voting is actually
benefits to citizens.
10. Today, I would like to persuade every one of you here to vote because voting is important
for the shape of future generations.
BODY
(Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Need)
1. Well ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you why you need to vote.Firstly, the importance
of voting is to change the outcome.
(a) One reason a person might vote is to influence, or to attempt to change the
outcome of an election (Brennan, 2016).
(b) For an example, there are two candidates, A and B in an election. Suppose
Nancy prefers A to B; she believes that A would do a trillion dollars more
overall good than B would do. Then, it would be good if A won, right?
(c) However, this does not yet show whether it is rational for Nancy to vote for A.
(d) Instead, this depends on how likely it is that her vote will make a difference.
(e) In much the same way, it might be worth $200 million to win the lottery, but
that does not imply it’s rational to buy a lottery ticket. Do you agree me?
2. Hence, voting carries benefits to those who participate in it.

(a) The people who vote are associated with the host of positive civic, health and
social factors.
i. The voters a known to be more engaged in other activities such as
volunteering or contacting their election official.
(b) They tend to be more informed about the local affairs and as a contributor to
their neighborhood’s “social capital”.
(c) Voters live in communities where there is more trust and people have contact
with their neighbors.
i. They are more concerned about their communities and peers and have
a greater sense of their ability to impact the world around them.
3. According to Lee E. (2011), it is an opportunity for you to choose the candidates or

parties you wish to run and lead the nation.
(a) There are rights to equality, rights to speak and rights to be heard.
(b) Voting means to support the democratic system and to ensure that it will
continue to work as long as people uphold the principles of democracy.
(c) However, not voting means giving up on democracy.
i. This action would upset our forefather who has fought to preserve and
protect our nation’s independence and democracy.
(d) There are many complain from citizen where they claim that their voices are
not heard.
i. But they seem to have forgotten that they have been given by
government the rights to express their voice through the ballot paper.
(e) Therefore, the citizen should appreciate that voting is actually an opportunity
for them to speak for themselves.
i. Voting sets a one good example to others who are not bothered to vote
but merely talk.
ii. Majority number of citizens likes to talk about politics but lack in
confidence to act.
iii. In this case, why not we vote in order to express our talk? You should
stand on your feet and tell the candidates that you care about the
country; that you want them to bring positive development to the
country.
(Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Satisfaction)
4. It’s easy to just sigh, throw up your hands and swear off politics. It’s relentless,
depressing and exhausting, especially after the year we’ve had.We do not vote for
something that makes us feel good in that polling booth, but as something that will shape
our public world for years to come (Mattson, 2016).
(a) You can decide who you are going to vote for later but please do get yourself
registered.
(b) If you do not vote and a party you don’t want ends up in power for the next
five years, then you as good as voted for them yourself.
(c) Do some analysis and reading to observe forward to mark the “X” on the
ballot paper in the near future.
(d) You don’t need to campaign, or become a member of a political party. All you
need is vote. So do it!
(Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Visualization)
5. The great things about politics in democratic country are that we, the people, can change
it. Don’t like the current narrative? Change it. Vote.There will be such regret for the next
few years if you don’t vote.
(a) You won’t be able to defend your rights towards a political party as a citizen in a
country.
i. Because if you do not vote, then a particular party that you not really into
will be in power in leading.
ii. And if you had voted, the whole general election result could have been
different. The non-voters always have the power to swing the result of an
election.
CONCLUSION
(Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Action)
1. In conclusion, never fall into the trap of thinking that your vote won’t make a difference.
(a) Voting is connected with a host of positive outputs. We people must vote for the
future generation.
2. Register yourself for the election.
(a) Do not see voting as “revolutionary” act to abstain from casting a ballot.
3. You should do some reading and analysis for the observation towards marking the ballot
paper.
4. The choice for you is clear, you either vote for more of the same or vote for changes. It is
all in your hand.
