Announcing the New U.S. Vote Foundation Civics Crash Course

Civics Crash Course - Introduction

U.S. Vote Foundation (US Vote) is your go-to spot to get set up to vote, and our trusted services extend beyond Election Day. For democracy to thrive, citizens must be reliably informed between elections in order to prepare to effectively participate at the ballot box. US Vote supports your democratic duty to be a responsible, engaged citizen with our useful tools and instructive resources. We are excited to announce our new Civics Crash Course initiative.

In US Vote’s Civics Crash Course blog series, our in-house political scientists explain how your vote interfaces with our system of government. 

  • What power does your vote hold in America? 
  • How does American democracy function? 
  • How can citizens participate between elections?

Our Civics Crash Course unpacks these questions and more to address concerns many Americans have about the future of our republic and the constitutional framework of our system.
