VOTEHERE
is an election year project of Ukranian/Russian/American artist Irina Danilova. Upon becoming an American citizen, she decided to share her vote with all those who don't have the right to vote.
Non-USA-citizens, under 18, mentally incompetent, or currently in prison
may send a vote to votehere2012@gmail.com
or vote online
On November 6, 2012 Irina Danilova will vote for the candidate who garners the most. National and International votes will be submitted separately only if they split.
Up to 30% of the US population is not allowed to vote: mid-teens, prisoners, illegal immigrants and permanent residents. All depend on US politics, as does the rest of the world. While giving an opportunity to everyone to express a view on the US Presidential Election, VOTEHERE is gathering a collective alternative opinion. It is also a metaphor for the power of the individual vote.

2000: Irina Danilova became citizen of USA and VOTEHERE project was founded
