Your Vote, Your Voice: Investigating Turnout

hreusa's avatar by Leave a comment

Hot off the presses and just in time for the upcoming primary elections, explore the Center’s newest Civic Inquiry: Civic Participation and Voter Turnout. In this engaging, hands-on lesson, students investigate the health of our democracy by analyzing graphs, charts, and other visual data on voter turnout in the United States. Working collaboratively, they develop solutions while considering multiple perspectives and shared civic values. Centered on the inquiry question, “Does low voter turnout in the United States signal a problem with democracy?”, this experience builds critical thinking, collaboration, and civic engagement skills for informed citizenship.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
