Abstract | While provisions of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 continue to guarantee equal voting rights (Dreiband 2017), a fundamental question remains: To what extent do all voters share an equitable experience at the polls? Anecdotally, not everyone has equal access, yet where do these differences exist spatially, are there trends, and how can students make an impact? This overarching lesson plan creates a set of lessons for students to determine a list of vote location characteristics, collect data at the polls, and analyze the data to answer these questions, opening the doors to many more questions as well. In addition to learning about the provision of voting services, students will engage in applied research, becoming active participants in their education. This project is an opportunity for civic engagement and field research that will introduce students to questions around American elections, voting services, and social justice. (ERIC). |
