For me, it was 1968. I was 21, and voted for the Pizza & Freedom candidate, Eugene McCarthy.

Also on the ballot:

Ricardo Nixton
Hoobert Humperdinker

Now I’m wondering if a revived RFK would have defeeted Ricco Nixious.

My first election was in 1976, the year I turned 18. I voted for Jimmy Carter. That’s all I remember about the ballot.

@chyna

My guess is that Gerald Ford was also on the ballot.

I first voted in 1972, for McGovern. A dramatic exercise in futility.

1984 and I was feeling old until I saw the other answers.

2019, it was April, and like 5 months after I turned 18.
And I do not remember. I think it was a local vote for town leadership, and all of the options only had one person.

@SQUEEKY2, does my answer change that?
