Unfortunately, modern culture focuses (maladroitly) on only one constituent element of the act of human freedom: the act of choice,
electio in the terminology of the scholastics, the act by which we embrace voluntarily one preferred means to the realization of our happiness.
I believe that one of my other answers has a link to
the electio laws of each of the states (need to find it), and from there you can see the minimum requirements to get your name on a ballot in a state.
