Introduction Elections are an important part of democracy because they allow citizens to participate in choosing the people who will represent them and make decisions for their communities and countries.

Group 1: The Electorate and the Election Process        Group 1 began the series of presentations by discussing The Electorate and the Election Process, a topic essential to American democracy. However, early on, fundamental and logistical challenges delayed their execution. Only two members of the designated group were there to give the information, so they were left to ...

  Michael Acosta  Why Elections Matter: Reflections on Our Group Presentations Throughout our Public Speaking class, we had the opportunity to learn about the importance of elections and how they affect different aspects of our society. Each of the four groups focused on a different topic related to elections, including the election process, education policies, immigration policies, and the economy. Although each group discussed a different subject, they all demonstrated how elections influence the decisions that are made in our communities, states, and country.
