Questions & Answers about Mi voto cuenta.

Why is it mi and not mí?

Mi without an accent is the possessive adjective meaning my.

• mi voto = my vote

Mí with an accent is a pronoun used after prepositions:

• para mí = for me
• sin mí = without me

So in Mi voto cuenta, you need mi because it is describing the noun voto.

Why is the sentence Mi voto cuenta and not Yo voto cuenta?

Because yo means I, and that is not the subject of this sentence.

The subject here is mi voto = my vote.
So the verb has to agree with voto, which is third person singular:

• mi voto cuenta = my vote counts

If you said yo, the verb would need to match yo:

• yo cuento = I count / I am counting
• yo voto = I vote

So Yo voto cuenta is not grammatically correct.
