This Is What an Honest Voting Ad Would Look Like [VIDEO]

The presidential election is just four weeks away and, as usual, voting ads asking people to do their civic duty are popping up all over the place. But what if those ads actually told you the truth?

Jest is here to answer that question with a satirical video in which the actors ask citizens to vote, even though they themselves might not.

One of them confesses he doesn't think it's gonna make a difference, since he's registered in New York. "It's not like I'm in Ohio," he says. "If you're in Ohio, you have to vote. It's like the only state that matters." A girl comes up with an array of other excuses not to go: dental appointment, family stuff, too much stuff to do on a Tuesday, etc.

The video is obviously intended to be funny but, at the same time, raises some very important points about the electoral system in the U.S. as well as how youth is involved in politics.

Are you going to vote or do you have a legitimate excuse? Tell us what you think in the comments.
