During an election season, several Americans recall the extensive history — and conflict — with how voting has operated. The vast and often frustrating methods of voting used in decades past can allow modern citizens to appreciate the current methods in place, while also remembering the fond memories that occurred on the civic struggle bus. For Advanced Placement (AP) Macroeconomics and honors government and economics teacher Dr. Pamela Roach, her knowledge and lived experiences of different voting eras allow her to cherish her civic duty, and teach her students to do the same.  Although it may not be the most efficacious, I think voting is one act of political participation. You [can] write and email your elected representative, whether it's at the local state or national level. [That] has a place in democracy because how else will those elected officials know what we, the people, want? ‘We the people’ is a powerful phrase, and no one takes the time to actually go and let their voice be heard by these individuals. So yeah, your voice matters,” Roach said.

As a diverse nation, the U.S. addresses several intersections of democracy and other disciplines during an election year. With concerns on the rise about climate change and public health, it comes as no surprise that science weighs heavily on the minds of prospective voters. The increased consciousness surrounding science and voting creates a space for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focused individuals, such as ninth-grade biology teacher Leslie Lane, to enter deeper into current civic discussions. “As someone who is highly involved in politics, I see democracy playing out in my daily life all the time. From helping pass laws, contacting my representatives, voting and encouraging others to vote, attending town hall meetings, protesting and helping fund different politicians and advocacy groups. If it's a way to be involved in democracy and the political process, I have done it,” Lane said.
