Your vote is your voice! The newest display in the James B. Duke Library highlights the upcoming election and specifically calls attention to absentee voting. For information on absentee voting in your state, the Brennan Center for Justice has created a Student Voting Guide. The Guide includes an interactive map which provides information for each state, such as registration procedures and deadlines, residency rules, identification requirements, and steps for requesting absentee ballots.
Books on display include:
- We are the ones we have been waiting for : the promise of civic renewal in America
- Millennial momentum : how a new generation is remaking America
