Handout on Voting Rights Amendments

This voting rights amendments handout is an 8 page document that asks students to re-write the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments in their own words, then provides charts about overall voter turnout and different demographics along with asking students questions about them. Then they look at charts of voter turnout by different demographics (gender, age, education, income, race) in Presidential and Midterm elections asking students to write their observations, questions, and comments for each chart.
