While MTV News has been holding its own election of sorts to select the #1 "Twilight" character from Stephenie Meyer's beloved book series, a much weightier election looms large. On November 6, citizens will cast their ballot for the leader of our country, and whomever you plan to vote for, the stars of everyone's favorite vampire romance are urging you to get out and pick your president.
"If you ever, ever, ever want to complain about what's going on in the U.S., you should vote because then you have a right to," Ashley Greene (also known as Alice Cullen) said with a laugh. "If you want to complain, you should vote."
Co-star Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Hale, couldn't agree more.
"Young people need to vote," she said. "They need to get out there. Every vote counts."
Reed cautioned, however, against voting willy-nilly — bone up on the important issues and research your candidate's stance.
I think we can all agree you don't want to find yourself on the business end of a bloodsucker, so educate yourself and vote!
