Please take a moment to make sure your voting for one of the people who run the computer servers in the background which keep the Steem blockchain working, so we can all enjoy Steemit and the other applications and they get paid Steem.
Most importantly make sure you are not voting for a witness that no longer runs a witness node and doesn’t perform the functions and duties of a witness. These are wasted votes because it means your vote doesn’t count and your voice in determining the leadership of Steem isn’t being heard.
I suggest you look over this list which was in a recent post by 
You may also want to consider only voting for the witnesses who have a chance of getting into the top 20 witness slots and have a seat at the table of power that determines our future. Please differentiate old Steemit witnesses from new Tron witnesses before casting your vote so you actually vote for the side in this conflict you wish to support.
In general the former Steem witnesses have much larger numbers of people voting for them then the new Tron witnesses.
If your unsure ask. The important thing is that you exercise your right to vote for the leadership. Democracy and freedom are not free. Participation in the voting us the minimal activity to preserve this system.
