The current challenges facing the electoral system could undermine the peaceful transfer of power and the integrity of elections, two cornerstones of democratic governance. Thus, it is vital to help young people understand how the electoral system works, including the processes in place to ensure accuracy and fairness as well as the real challenges to electoral integrity, such as voter suppression. In this article, the authors describe an inquiry-based mini-unit for students to explore how the electoral system works and how they can take informed action to address the real problems that elections now face. Teaching students about the U.S. processes and security safeguards that ensure fair elections can foster youth civic engagement and help counter voter suppression.
