Voting is more than just turning 18 and walking up to the voting booth. It requires thought and intent in order to make an educated decision.
Think the Vote is a website run by the Bill of Rights Institute. Our goal is to connect you with resources to think critically about the things going on around you. This will also equip you with the skills and information to engage in healthy civil discourse with fellow citizens. The Bill of Rights Institute has assembled a talented team to create each of our programs and resources, including a full-time staff with more than 100 years combined experience in the classroom.
