Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence starts in the third person singular with "Every citizen" but then switches to the plural possessive pronoun "their." It should be consistent throughout, either by changing "their" to "his or her" or by making the sentence plural: "All citizens should exercise their constitutional right to vote." There is no issue with tense or parallelism.
