FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Making sure Joe Biden keeps his green promises” – below is their description.
Joe Biden’s victory in the US presidential election last month was secured in large part thanks to the youth vote, a demographic won over by Biden’s environmental policies. We speak to John Paul Mejia, spokesperson for the Sunrise movement, about the group’s support for Biden – and how it’s planning to ensure he doesn’t backtrack on his climate change pledges once he’s in the White House.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
