What does it mean to participate in democracy? Is merely existing as a registered voter enough, or do you have to participate in every election, every political discussion?

In Ballot Boxing, author Lucy Santora takes a look at post-2016 America and the electoral process within. Democracy dictates that voting is the sole avenue to exact change, but figuring out who to vote for—and even how to vote—can be an arduous process. Santora shares stories about 2020’s darling politicians to show how the political landscape has radically changed from the previous epoch.

Redefining the idea of a political handbook, Ballot Boxing recognizes that the sphere of American politics is constantly in flux, and teaches its readers how to:

  • Navigate a democratic landscape in a mire of disinformation
  • Grasp how rising political stars use personality to bolster their policies
  • Guide others on how to utilize their voting power
  • Use their vote to create a robust, engaging democratic system
  • And more…

Lucy Santora’s gathered perspectives, collected in Ballot Boxing to represent every facet of the American political mind, provide keen insight into how the individual American can leverage their vote to mean more in a tumultuous era.
