This page is specially designed for students who come to our web site in part to research the question of youth voting rights.

While we encourage you to stick around and think about joining YouthSpeak, we wanted to create this page so that you be able to more easily find some of the many books, newspaper and magazine articles, and internet sites dedicated to youth voting rights.

The list below is divided into Books, Articles, and Web Resources.
