Overview

Voting is the expression of one's opinion or choice.

In the United States, people vote by casting a secret ballot. There are many situations that require people's votes in the United States. Citizens vote for people to hold public office in the local, state, and federal governments. This book explores what voting is through accessible language. Photographs of a wide range of people help readers make connections to the text.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2018
Gr 3–5—The U.S. voting and electoral system is covered here in accessible terms. Topics covered include who can vote, why we should vote, what is the electoral college, how a person becomes a candidate, and requirements to be either a candidate or a voter. By necessity there is plenty of overlap among the titles in the information provided. The text is displayed on pages with a blue, white, and red background with a scattering of stars. The photographs include candidates of different parties, genders, and ethnicities. The translation is generally readable; however, at times, the sentences are so awkwardly worded they are difficult to understand. VERDICT A suitable, though not perfect, addition for school or public libraries.
