Developing a Voting Guide for First-Time Voters in Missouri

Summary of Project

Students learned about voter turnout in the United States and identified voter registration as an obstacle to having higher voter turnout. Students researched and created ways to engage a first-time voter in an easy-to-follow voter registration guide. Each group created a voter registration guide and then a community panel voted on the one that will be used for our community.
