Voting offers younger children a simple
explanation of the mechanics of casting a ballot in an election. It begins with a challenge to decide which of
the two questions about voting posed is true and which is false. It discusses the requirements necessary
to be able to vote and changes to the Constitution through various amendments
that have increased this “right” over the course of American history to
allow for greater suffrage, what happens on election day, how the president is elected, and how a child can get
involved in the voting process. Each
section is carefully explained,
and the easy-to-read information is enhanced by colorful photographs and
sidebars. The book ends with voting
statistics, resources, a glossary, and an index.
