Voting LITERACY · 9TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Voting is the procedure by which a community makes a binding decision together, and its rules matter as much as the count. In the United States, citizens aged eighteen and over may vote, a right extended over two centuries by constitutional amendments and by laws such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Most American elections use plurality rule, where whoever gets the most votes wins even without a majority; other systems use runoffs or ranked ballots, which change which candidates can win. The secret ballot, adopted in the late 1800s, was a reform against bribery and intimidation, since a vote nobody can verify cannot be bought reliably. Turnout, registration rules, and district boundaries all shape results, so studying elections means studying the machinery and not only the choices. Questions: 1 What is plurality rule? 2 Why was the secret ballot introduced? 3 Name two things besides voters' choices that shape results. www.littleactivity.com 9th Grade · Literacy
