How to convert the input into lowercase

Question

I would like to know, what can I do so that even if the answers are uppercase it still marks the points? I am a new python user...

colleges = ["MIT", "UAB", "Harvard", "UA", "Standford"]
votes = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
Q1 = input("What is important in your future?\na)Invent something important\nb)Helping other people\nc)Know everything\nd)A job that I love\ne)Make the world better\n")
if (Q1 == "a"):
  votes[0] = votes[0]+1
elif (Q1 == "b"):
  votes[1] = votes[1]+1
elif (Q1 == "c"):
  votes[2] = votes[2]+1
elif (Q1 == "d"):
  votes[3] = votes[3]+1
elif (Q1 == "e"):
  votes[4] == votes[4]+1

You should also check for "none of the above" and prompt the user to try again. — stark, Feb 13 '20 at 14:08
