Voting Rights
From the Series Living in America
In a democracy, such as the United States, citizens elect government officials to represent them by exercising their constitutional right to vote. This nonfiction social studies title for young adults examines the history of suffrage in America, including how and when women, Black, and American Indian voters, among others, were granted voting rights through acts and amendments. It explores the election process, registration, ballots and polling places, and barriers to strong turnouts, such as ID laws and language access. Includes sidebars, a glossary, a timeline, and profiles of suffragist Alice Paul and political leader Stacey Abrams.
