Election Research - Due Wednesday, October 29th (and Extra Credit Option)



Study candidates and issues in Utah for this year’s election.  Choose one that you could vote for (according to your geographical location) and study that candidate and their opponent in depth.  Find resources, information, debate transcripts, radio show transcripts, commercials, slogans, material that explains the candidates' stances on the issues.  Keep a log of all of the information you view, what it tells you about the candidates, and how it influences your vote.



Go to http://vote.utah.gov/vote/menu/index and enter your home address to find out which candidates and issues apply to you. 


EXTRA CREDIT OPTION: Have your parents, guardians or others in your home who are eligible to vote in this year's election, take the survey found at www.isidewith.com and bring their results to class to compare with your own.
