Voter Voices Politics Election 2012 Mitt Romney Barack Obama

What issue matters most to you in the upcoming election?

It’s issues week for the print Washington Post, and we have loaded WashingtonPost.com with articles and tools to help readers become informed about Mitt Romney and Barack Obama’s positions on every major policy issue.

We also want to hear from you. What issue is most on your mind as you decide how to cast your vote? Does one particular stance by a candidate make the difference in determining who you will support?

The 12 bloggers have been speaking with students on their campuses in battleground states. While it’s easy to assume young voters are primarily voting on issues like jobs and financial aid, there are many more reasons they are going to the polls. We’re posting students’ responses from them here on The 12 over the next few days.

We’ll also post some readers’ responses, so send us a message or a photo below, or post on your own Tumblr with the tag #Voter Voices.

And you can endorse candidates’ statements here on the Issue Engine.

lafaux answered: What matters to me is the right to vote in this election and elections to come. Romney should be asked about his stance on voter suppression
whitecolonialism answered: Foreign policy definitely has a big impact on my vote. The United States needs to make drastic changes to this nations foreign policy.
