Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where democracy stands as a beacon of hope and progress, the significance of informed voting cannot be overstated. "Informed Choices: Why Voter’s Education Matters" encapsulates the essence of voter's education, a cornerstone of democratic governance. Voter's education serves as the bedrock upon which the edifice of democracy rests, empowering citizens with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to participate meaningfully in the political process, make informed choices at the ballot box, and hold elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions. At its core, voter's education is about empowering citizens to engage with the democratic process in a meaningful and informed manner. It is about providing citizens with the information and resources they need to understand the electoral process, the issues at stake in elections, and the positions and priorities of candidates and parties. By equipping citizens with this knowledge, voter's education enables them to make informed decisions that reflect their values, interests, and aspirations, thereby strengthening the integrity and legitimacy of democratic governance. Voter's education is not just about casting a ballot; it is about fostering a culture of civic engagement and participation that is essential for the health and vitality of democracy. It is about empowering citizens to take ownership of their role in the political process, to advocate for their interests, and to contribute to the collective well-being of society. Voter's education encourages citizens to stay informed about current events, to engage in informed dialogue and debate about the issues that matter to them, and to participate in civic activities such as community organizing, volunteering, and public service. Moreover, voter's education is about promoting transparency and accountability in government. By educating citizens about their rights and responsibilities as voters, voter's education programs empower citizens to demand openness, honesty, and integrity from their elected officials. Voter's education fosters a culture of accountability that holds elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions, and that promotes responsive and representative governance. In a world where disinformation and misinformation proliferate, voter's education serves as a bulwark against the erosion of trust in democratic institutions. By teaching citizens how to critically evaluate information, distinguish fact from fiction, and engage in reasoned debate, voter's education programs help inoculate society against the dangers of propaganda and manipulation. Voter's education promotes media literacy, critical thinking skills, and civic responsibility, empowering citizens to be vigilant guardians of democracy in an age of information overload. The importance of voter's education extends beyond national borders, transcending cultural, political, and geographical boundaries. In countries around the world, voter's education initiatives are empowering citizens to exercise their democratic rights and contribute to the collective governance of society. From voter registration drives and civic education programs to public awareness campaigns and community outreach events, voter's education efforts are transforming the landscape of democracy and building a more informed, engaged, and accountable citizenry. As we look to the future, the need for voter's education has never been more urgent. In an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world, the challenges facing democracy are complex and multifaceted. From the rise of authoritarianism and populism to the threats posed by disinformation and digital manipulation, the integrity of democratic governance is under siege. In this context, voter's education stands as a beacon of hope, a powerful tool for empowering citizens, strengthening democratic institutions, and defending the principles of democracy against threats and challenges. Informed Choices: Why Voter’s Education Matters is not just a slogan; it is a rallying cry for all those who believe in the power of democracy to bring about positive change. It is a reminder that democracy is not a spectator sport; it is a participatory endeavor that requires the active engagement and commitment of all citizens. By investing in voter's education, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come, a future where democracy thrives, and where informed choices lead to stronger, more resilient democracies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the American election administration landscape changes as a result of major court cases, national and state legislation, changes in professionalism, and the evolution of equipment and security, so must the work of on-the-ground practitioners change. This Open Access title presents a series of case studies designed to highlight practical responses to these changes from the national, state, and local levels. This book is designed to be a companion piece to The Future of Election Administration, which surveys these critical dimensions of elections from the perspectives of the most forward-thinking practitioner, policy, advocacy, and research experts and leaders in these areas today. Drawing upon principles of professionalism and the practical work that is required to administer elections as part of the complex systems, this book lifts up the voices and experiences of practitioners from around the country to describe, analyze, and anticipate the key areas of election administration systems on which students, researchers, advocates, policy makers, and practitioners should focus. Together, these books add to the emerging body of literature that is part of the election sciences community with an emphasis on the practical aspects of administration.

Download or read book Poll Power written by Evan Faulkenbury and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The civil rights movement required money. In the early 1960s, after years of grassroots organizing, civil rights activists convinced nonprofit foundations to donate in support of voter education and registration efforts. One result was the Voter Education Project (VEP), which, starting in 1962, showed far-reaching results almost immediately and organized the groundwork that eventually led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In African American communities across the South, the VEP catalyzed existing campaigns; it paid for fuel, booked rallies, bought food for volunteers, and paid people to canvass neighborhoods. Despite this progress, powerful conservatives in Congress weaponized the federal tax code to undercut the important work of the VEP. Though local power had long existed in the hundreds of southern towns and cities that saw organized civil rights action, the VEP was vital to converting that power into political motion. Evan Faulkenbury offers a much-needed explanation of how philanthropic foundations, outside funding, and tax policy shaped the southern black freedom movement.
Download or read book Bearing the Cross written by David J. Garrow and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize: The definitive biography of Martin Luther King Jr. In this monumental account of the life of Martin Luther King Jr., professor and historian David Garrow traces King’s evolution from young pastor who spearheaded the 1955–56 bus boycott of Montgomery, Alabama, to inspirational leader of America’s civil rights movement. Based on extensive research and more than seven hundred interviews, with subjects including Andrew Young, Jesse Jackson, and Coretta Scott King, Garrow paints a multidimensional portrait of a charismatic figure driven by his strong moral obligation to lead—and of the toll this calling took on his life. Bearing the Cross provides a penetrating account of King’s spiritual development and his crucial role at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, whose protest campaigns in Birmingham and Selma, Alabama, led to enactment of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965. This comprehensive yet intimate study reveals the deep sense of mission King felt to serve as an unrelenting crusader against prejudice, inequality, and violence, and his willingness to sacrifice his own life on behalf of his beliefs. Written more than twenty-five years ago, Bearing the Cross remains an unparalleled examination of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the legacy of the civil rights movement.

Download or read book Electoral Integrity in America written by Pippa Norris and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the integrity of American elections did not start with Trump's election; flaws in procedures have gradually grown during recent decades. The contemporary "tipping point" that raised public awareness was the 2000 Bush v. Gore Florida count, but, the 2016 campaign and its aftermath clearly worsened several major structural weaknesses. This deepened party polarization over the rules of the game and corroded American trust in the electoral process. Disputes over elections have proliferated on all sides in Trump's America with heated debate about the key problems--whether the risks of electoral fraud, fake news, voter suppression, or Russian interference--and with no consensus about the right solutions. This book illuminates several major challenges observed during the 2016 U.S. elections, focusing upon concern about both the security and inclusiveness of the voter registration process in America. Given the importance of striking the right balance between security and inclusiveness in voter registration, this volume brings together legal scholars, political scientists, and electoral assistance practitioners to provide new evidence-based insights and policy-relevant recommendations.
