Online Conversation: Law Diversity & the Vote

Voting

These pages offer a special look at how America’s diverse peoples come together to participate in society through an institution synonymous with democracy: voting. This year’s Online Conversation, designed especially for students and teachers, is divided into four sections, each looking at a different aspect of voting and how it affects our participation in our government and our communities.

The four sections, which you can reach through the links below, explore voting and Youth Citizenship, Voter Registration, Representation in our system, and finally Campaign Reform. In each section you’ll find a short article looking at history, law, and voting today. You’ll also find an interactive section where students can vote on an issue related to the topic. You’ll find the results of related surveys and research data, and links to related articles and websites.

After you familiarize yourself with the topic, visit the Activities section, where you can choose among several web-based activities for each topic, designed both for classroom and individual use. Just make sure you stop and think about how important it is meet the challenge of citizenship!
