Get Out and Vote!

Key Selling Points

This book will give young readers the tools to think critically about civic engagement and why voting matters around the world. Voter turnout is at an all-time low, with 44% of eligible Americans not voting in the last presidential election and 34% of eligible Canadians not casting a ballot in the last federal election. This book tackles timely issues, including racism and voter suppression, gerrymandering, accessible voting, vote-rigging, lowering the voting age and voting reform. Research shows that if you get kids engaged early, they are more likely to vote for the rest of their lives. Elizabeth MacLeod is an award-winning author with a track record of writing about politics and government for young people.
