Isenzo sokufaka i-collet sibaluleke kakhulu; ukusetshenziswa okuqondile kwamandla alo lonke umphakathi okuhlela imithetho, uhlelo, kanye nomholi walo lonke izinga lohulumeni. Kubafundi, othisha, nazo zonke izakhamuzi, ukuqonda indlela ukuvota okukodwa okungena ngayo enqubweni enkulu yentando yeningi kubalulekile. Uma izigidi zabantu zihlangana, zinquma ukumiswa kwesimiso somphakathi, ukwabiwa kwemithombo yemali, kanye nokuvikelwa kwamalungelo ayisisekelo. Lokhu kuhlola okukhulu kwemiphumela yokuvota kungena emizini yakho engokomlando, imiphumela yezimiso, izithiyo ezifundisayo eziphikelelayo, izithiyo eziqinisa ukuhlanganyela.

Ukubaluleka Kokuphasa

Ukuqamba i-consings itshe lika-demokrati omelele i-demokrati. Yindlela izakhamuzi ezivumela noma zihlehlise ngayo imvume yokubuswa. Ngaphandle kwayo, izikhulu zomphakathi bezingeke zikwazi ukusabela ezidingweni zabantu. Ukubaluleka kokuvota kungaphulwa kube izinsika eziningi ezixhunyaniswe.

Amandla Nezwi

Ngezinga eliyisisekelo kakhulu, ukuvota kuguqula izindinganiso zomuntu siqu kanye nezinto eziza kuqala ezinqunyweni zomphakathi wonke. Uma uvota, uthi umbono wakho ngentela, imfundo, ukunakekelwa kwempilo, noma ukushintsha isimo sezulu. Lomuzwa wokunika amandla ubaluleke kakhulu emaqenjini alwayo ngokwesiko alwayo futhi ayaqhubeka elwa (ukuze athole ithuba elifanayo lokungena ku-colot). Ucwaningo lubonisa njalo ukuthi abantu abavotayo bazizwa besondelene kakhulu nezindawo zabo futhi baqiniseka kakhulu ngekhono labo lokushintsha.

Ukumelelwa Kwemiqondo Ehlukahlukene

Idemokrasi enempilo idinga ukuba izindikimba ezikhethiwe zibonise inani labantu, okuhlangenwe nakho, nezithakazelo zomphakathi eziwukhonzayo. Ukubhalisa kuyindlela eyinhloko imiphakathi engaphansi kwe-austria engaqinisekisa ngayo ukuthi izinto ezikhathazayo ziyazwakala. Ngokwesibonelo, lapho abesifazane bethola ilungelo lokuvota ngo-1920, izimiso ezihlobene nenhlalakahle yabantwana, impilo yomphakathi, kanye nokuphepha emsebenzini zaqala ukuthola ukunakekela okukhulu kwemithetho yezomthetho. Ngokufanayo, i-Voting Rights Act ka-65 yandisa ngokuphawulekayo ukubhalisa komvoti wo-Black eNingizimu, iholela ekukhetheni izikhulu zaseAfrika zaseMelika eziletha izinto ezintsha eziza kuqala emikhandlwini yedolobha nasezindaweni zokubophela izibophonono zikahulumeni.

Ukulandisa Namandla Okususwa

Izicelo ziyikhadi lombiko walabo abafuna ukumiswa. Izikhulu ezingayinaki imizwelo yomphakathi, ezingenela ebubini, noma ezihlulekayo ukunikeza izithembiso zingavotelwa ngaphandle kwesikhundla. Lendlela yokulandisa igcina uhulumeni esabela. Ngokwesibonelo, amalungu ebhodini lesikole alawula ukuxhaswa kwezimali zobuciko ngokumelene nokuphikiswa komphakathi okusakazeke kakhulu ngokuvamile zibhekana nokunqotshwa kukhetho olulandelayo. Ngokufanayo, ababusi abaphatha kabi izinhlekelele zempilo yomphakathi baye babona ukuncipha kwemingcele yezentengiselwano yabo futhi ababekela inselele inzuzo. Ithuba nje lokuvota ngaphandle kwe-interlivivota abameleli abameleli ukuba balalele (Prew Research Center, 20).

Ukuhlanganyela Komphakathi Nokubambisana Komphakathi

Ukuqamba ukuvota akuvamile ukuba yisenzo sokuzihambela wedwa. Ngisho nesenzo esilula sokuya endaweni yokuhlola singenza izingxoxo zomkhaya, abangane, omakhelwane, nosebenza nabo. Imihlangano yemkhankaso, amahholo edolobha, kanye nokuvota kuyakha inhloko - dolobha yezenhlalo. Izinhlangano zokukhokha nokuhlanganisa izinhlangano ezigcina imiphakathi ihlangene. Ngisho nesenzo esilula sokuya endaweni yokuhlola singabangela izingxoxo ngezindaba zendawo. Ukucwaninga okuvela ku- U.S. Censureauauau kubonisa ukuthi abantu abavotayo nabo bangaba nethuba lokuvota, banikele ngeminikelo, futhi babe khona emihlanganweni yasobala, kwakha umjikelelo omuhle wokuhlanganyela komphakathi.

Umlando: Umshikashika Webhola Owesikhathi Eside

Ilungelo lokuvota eUnited States alizange linikezwe emhlabeni wonke; lazuzwa phakathi namashumi eminyaka empimpi, umthetho, noshintsho lomthetho - sisekelo. Ukuqonda lomlando kubalulekile ekuqapheleni ukuwohloka kokufinyelela kwentando yeningi.

Ukusuka Ezidingweni Zempahla Kuya Ekuthumbeni Abantu Abadala Emhlabeni Wonke

ERepublic yakuqala, amazwe amaningi alinganisela ukuvota kwabamhlophe abanikazi bempahla, indinganiso eyasusa iningi labantu abamhlophe. Ngekhulu le-19, izimfuneko zempahla zasuswa kancane kancane, kodwa imingcele yobuhlanga nobulili yayisele. ISichibiyelo seshumi elinesihlanu (1870) saba yimpumelelo, kodwa sasheshe sancitshiswa yintela yokuvota, ukuhlola kokufunda nokusongela kobudlova eNingizimu. Kwakungathatha elinye ikhulu leminyaka ngaphambi kokuba iVoting Rights Act ka-1965 igcine iqediwe eminingi yale lemikhuba yokukhokha izigezo zomthetho.

Icala Labesifazane NeSichibiyelo Se - 19

Inhlangano yabesifazane yokuzibamba, eyafinyelela umvuthwandaba eSichibiyelweni sekhulu le-19 (1920), yayiwumzabalazo weminyaka engu-72 owawuhilela ukumasha, ukuhlaselwa kwendlala, nezimpi ezingokomthetho. Ukuzama kwabesifazane ukuvota akuzange kwenezele izigidi zabasanda kuvota; kwashintsha uhlelo lwezombangazwe. Impikiswano enjengokusebenza kwezingane, ukulondeka kokudla, nempilo kamama yagqama. Nakuba kunjalo, abesifazane bombala (ikakhulukazi MaMelika Melika woMdabu, i-Asia, ne-Black eNingizimu) yaqhubeka ibhekene nemigoqo enci engaphansi kwenguquko.

Ukuthatha Isinqumo Samalungelo Abantu Nezinselele Zaso Zanamuhla

IVoting Rights Act ka-1965 ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi umthetho wamalungelo abantu ophumelela kakhulu owake wamiswa. Yavimbela ukuhlolwa kokufunda nokubhala, yanikeza ukuqondisa kukahulumeni kokubhalisa ezindaweni ezinomlando wobandlululo, futhi yadinga izikhundla ezilawulayo nomlando wobandlululo ukuze iqale ushintsho lwemithetho yokuvota. Nokho, isinqumo seNkantolo Ephakeme ka 2013 [ku- Shelby County v. Raker[ [umthetho] washaya inqubo yokuvota, waholela ekutheni inqubo yokuvota, iphinde ibeke imingcele emibazweni eminingana. [[FLT]], njengango-20LT], okungenani ku-29, kuye kwamiswa imithetho yokuvota, kuhlanganise nezimfuneko eziqinile zokuvota, kuhlanganise nezimfuneko zokuvota eziphambili.

ISichibiyelo Se - 26 Nokuvunyelwa Kwentsha

ISichibiyelo se-26 (1971) sehlisa iminyaka yokuvota isukela ku-21 kuya ku-18, sishoshozelwa impikiswano yokuthi uma abantu abasha babebadala ngokwanele ukuba bajoyine iMpi yaseVietnam, babebadala ngokwanele ukuba bavote. Ngokwesikhathi esidlule umvoti wentsha uye wancipha kunamaqembu amadala, kodwa iye yakhula kakhulu okhethweni bamuva nje (ikakhulukazi phakathi kuka-1868 kuya ku-29year Âolds) ngezindaba ezifana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nezikweletu zabafundi. Izinhlelo ezifana nokuvota kwangaphambi kokubhalisa ngo 1676 no17 Poleamiree, kwamazwe athile inhloso yamuva yenjongo yokwakha imikhuba yokuvota ukuphila.

Indlela Ukushintsha Imisindo Okusebenza Ngayo Kuzo Zonke Izinga

Ukuqamba imali akuyona into ecatshangelwayo; kunquma ngokuqondile ukuthi ubani obhala imithetho, ukuthi intela isetshenziswa kanjani, nokuthi yiziphi izinto eziza kuqala.

Imibono Yasendaweni: Lapho Kukhona Isinyathelo Sangempela

Ukhetho lwendawo luvame ukuthinta kakhulu ukuphila kwansuku zonke. Amabhodi esikole anquma izifundo, amaholo othisha, futhi noma ngabe axhasa ubuciko noma imidlalo. Imikhandlu yasedolobheni ihlela amazinga entela yempahla, imithetho yokuhlela izakhiwo, nemali yokusetshenziswa kwamaphoyisa. AmaMaya aqondisa izinto zokuthutha komphakathi, ukukhuculula indle, nezinkonzo eziphuthumayo. Nokho, ukukhetha kuyaziwa ukuthi kuphansi kakhulu ngokwezindaba ze-àcastruptup, okusho iqembu elincane, elinikezelwe labavoti lingase liba nethonya. Ngokwesibonelo, uhlanga lweqembu lesikole olunqunywe yizivoti nje ezingamakhulu ambalwa nje kuphela lungashintsha ukuvota kwemfundo yesifunda sonke.

Ukukhethwa KoMbuso: Izinhlangano Zokubusa Ngentando Yeningi

Ohulumeni boMbuso balawula imibuso eminingi yezimiso, kuhlanganise nokwanda kweMidiya, iholo elilinganiselwe, umthetho wendawo ezungezile, ukuxhaswa kwemfundo, nezinqubo zokuvota ngokwabo. Izindlela zokuthatha i-Ballot zivumela abavoti ukuba badlulise izindlu zomthetho futhi bamise imithetho ngokuqondile, njengoba kubonakala eminyakeni yamuva ngokuqanjwa ngokomthetho kwensangu, ukwanda kweholo elilinganiselwe, kanye nesivikelo sokukhishwa kwezisu ezizweni eziningi. Ukuhlelwa kwamalungu ombuso anquma futhi indlela imigqa yesifundazwe edonswa ngayo noma elulaza ukumelelwa kobulungisa.

Ukukhethwa Kwesizwe: Ukumisa Inkambo Yesizwe

UMongameli noMkhandlu benza izinqumo ngenqubo yakwamanye amazwe, intela kahulumeni, ukunyuswa kwemithetho yeNkantolo Ephakeme, izinhlelo ezinkulu zezenhlalo njenge-Social Security and Medicare, kanye nezindinganiso zendawo ezungezile yesizwe. Ukhetho olulodwa lukamongameli lungasusa igatsha lokwahlulela ukuze luthathe isizukulwane. Ngokwesibonelo, ukhetho luka 2016 lwaholela ekumisweni kweNkantolo Ephakeme eyathi kamuva yagumbuqela iRoe v. Wade juday umphumela oqondile wokukhetha kwabavoti. Ngokufanayo, ukukhethwa kwamashumi amabili2020 kwaphumela ekutshaleni okukhulu kwesimo sezulu e-U.S. Umlando ngoMthetho we-Inflaiseodition Reduction Act, wadlula ngokuvota okucishe kweqembu.

Imfundo: Isizathu Sokuba Ulwazi Lubaluleke

Ulwazi luyithonya lentando yeningi. Ukuvota okungenalwazi kungaba yingozi kakhulu kunokuvota, ngoba kululaza ukucaca kwentando yokhetho. Imfundo (okubili okusemthethweni nokungahleliwe) kuvikela ekuxhashazweni nasekunganakwa.

Imfundo Yesibili Ezikoleni

Ukucwaninga kubonisa ukuthi abafundi abathola imfundo ephakeme yezakhamuzi ezilinganayo cishe bathambekele kakhulu ekuvoteni njengabantu abadala, baqonde izindaba zezombangazwe, futhi bathembe izinhlangano zentando yeningi. Imfundo ephumelelayo yezakhamuzi idlulela ngalé kokuthatha ngekhanda amagatsha amathathu kahulumeni; ihlanganisa ukuhlobisa njengokhetho lokugcona, izimpikiswano ezingoklolodo, nokuhlaziywa kwemithombo yezindaba. Amazwe anjengeFlorida ne-Illinois asanda kuyala ukuba abafundi bathole imfundo ngokufunda kwezokubhala imithombo yezindaba ukuze bahlole iziphakamiso zezombangazwe kanye nokulahla incazelo.

Indlela Yokucwaninga Nezindaba

Namuhla abavoti babhekene nokwaziswa okuningi kakhulu, futhi ukwaziswa okunganembile. Umvoti oqotho kufanele:

  • Funda imithombo eminingi yezindaba [ enemibono ehlukene yomhleli ukuze uthole umbono olinganiselayo.
  • Ikhonsathi engavoti iqondise i- njengaleyo evela eNhlanganoni yabesifazane Voters noma iBalotteia.

Indima Yengxoxo Yomphakathi Neyomkhaya

Izingxoxo zezombangazwe ekhaya nasemaqenjini ontanga zingamathuluzi anamandla okufundisa. Uma abazali bekhuluma nezingane zabo ngokuthi kungani zivota nokuthi zinquma kanjani, balingisa ubukhomo besizwe obukhuthele. Amakholiji, kanye nemibono nezinhlangano zabafundi ezihlukene, asebenza njengabaxhasi bezivumelwano zezombangazwe. Ukukhuthaza ukukhulumisana okunenhlonipho phakathi kokungafani kwezindawo ezihlukene. Qaphayo kunezinhlangothi ze-echollet − i-sstrengthen yentando yeningi.

Izinselele Eziphikelelayo Zokwaba Imisebenzi

Naphezu kokufaneleka komuntu oyedwa, ivoti eyodwa, kusele izithiyo eziningi ezicindezela ukuphuma noma ezilulaza amandla amaqembu athile.

Amaqhinga Okucindezela Asolwandle

Ukucindezelwa kwe Voter akuyona insalela yenkathi kaJim Crow. Izindlela zanamuhla zihlanganisa:

  • Strict imigaqo ye-ID yevoti [ ethinta ngokungenakulinganiswa inani ledlanzana, imali ehhayishiwe, nabavoti asebekhulile abangase bantule ilayisense yomshayeli noma ipasi lokungena.
  • I-Purgages zomvoti miqulu esusa abavoti abafanelekayo ngaphandle kwesaziso esanele.
  • Ukunciphisa izindawo zokuhlola [ ezindaweni eziyingcosana kakhulu, okuholela ekulindeni isikhathi eside nokuthatha iqhaza.
  • Ukunquma ukuvota ngeposi . bese ulahla amabhokisi, aphenduka indawo yokuhlola ngemva kokhetho lwama 2020.

Brennan Center for Justice ithatha lemiqondo futhi iye yafaka umbiko ukuthi phakathi kuka 2021 no-2024, okungenani izifundazwe eziyi 19 zidlulisa imithetho eyenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuvota.

Ukusetshenziswa Kwe - Gerrymander Nokufanekiswa Okungalingani

Gerrymandering [1] Ukudweba imigqa yesigodi ukuze ithande iqembu elithile noma i-combuntment system system isimiso sokumelela okufanayo. Uma izifunda zidonselwa ukupakisha noma ukuvota kwecrack kweqembu elilodwa, umphumela wokhetho ungaba yikho konke kodwa unqunywe kusengaphambili. Lokhu kunciphisa umncintiswano futhi kwenza abameleli bangasabeli kakhulu kukhetho olugcwele. I-conpendent redificioriting commining, esetshenziswa ngokwezifundazweni njenge California neMichigan, inguquko eyodwa enganciphisa i-gerrydering.

Ukunganaki Nokudumazeka

Abavoti abaningi abafanelekayo bamane bakhetha ukungahlanganyeli. Izizathu zihlanganisa ukukholelwa ukuthi ukuvota kwabo akunandaba, ukunengwa umkhankaso ophambene, noma umuzwa wokuthi bobabili abantu abayinhloko abakunaki ukukhathazeka kwabo. Lokhu kudumazeka kukhulu ikakhulukazi phakathi kwentsha kanye nabavoti abahlwithwayo ababona ushintsho oluncane ekuphileni kwabo kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubani owinayo. Nokho, noma iluphi ukhetho luhlanganisa izinhlanga eziseduze: ngo-2022, isihlalo sombuso eVirginia sanqunywa uhlamvu olulodwa lwemali ngemva kweqhina, futhi izinhlanga eziningi zendawo zinqunywa ngevoti engaphansi kweshumi lomjikelezo ngamunye.

Umsizi Okhuthazayo: Izindlela Zokuvivinya

Ukwanda kokuhamba kudinga kokubili ukususa izithiyo nokushukumisela abantu ukuba bavote. Lezizindlela ezilandelayo ziye zaboniswa ziphumelela.

Ukwenza Ukwephulwa Kwezincwadi Nokuqoqwa Kwezincwadi

I-AVR enikeza ukubhaliswa okufanayo ngosuku olungu-678, ukubhaliswa kwevoti okuzenzekelayo (AVR), nokubhaliswa nge-inthanethi kuphakeme kunaleyo enemithetho eqinile. Kusukela ngo-2024, izifundazwe ezingu-23 ne-Frigics yaseColumbia, eziye zathatha izigidi zabavoti abasha ngokuzenzakalelayo uma zisebenzelana ne-Dir of Mor Vehicles noma ezinye izinhlangano. Ukuvota kwakuqala nokungavota futhi nokungabeki kwe-osexceseshosesho kukwenza kube lula kakhulu ngalabo abanezimiso ezimatasa noma abahamba ngokuncishishishiwe ukuba bafake i-boli.

Ukubhaliswa Kwezincwadi Zesikole Ngokusekelwe Esontweni

Izikole eziphakeme zingafeza indima eqondile ngokuvumela ukubhaliswa kwabavoti ukuba bafake iziyalezo zokubhalisa abantu abadala abafanelekela ukubhaliswa ezinkolweni zikahulumeni noma zomphakathi. Ezinye izifundazwe, njengeCalifornia neMaryland, zidinga izikole eziphakeme ukuze zivumele ukubhaliswa noma ukubhaliswa kwangaphambi kwekhulu le-1666 no1776year remaorlds. Othisha nabaphathi bangabambisana nezikhulu zokhetho ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi abafundi banemithombo abadinga ukubhalisa futhi bahlanganyele.

Ukwenza Intela Yomphakathi
