Voting is the expression of one’s opinion or choice. This means voting can be anything from making a choice about what to eat for breakfast or who should be the next president of the United States of America. 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.
