Abstract | While United States citizens are not compelled to cast a ballot in any given election, the act of voting is often referred to as a civic duty. By actively taking part in local, regional, and national elections, the voter is fulfilling one aspect of what it means to be an active, engaged citizen. Among the responsibilities of individual secretaries of state in this country, the oversight of elections within their respective states plays a large role. These chief election officers actively work to maximize registration of eligible voters and help educate the public in regard to general voter information. This report reviews efforts by secretaries of state to foster civic learning and engagement--efforts that are designed to continue even after they leave office. [This is the fifth in a series of reports examining state initiatives related to civic education.
