Question
What are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy?
✦ OFFICIAL ANSWER ✦
Vote; join a political party; help with a campaign; join a civic group; join a community group; give an elected official your opinion on an issue; call Senators and Representatives; publicly support or oppose an issue or policy; run for office; write to a newspaper

Why This Is the Answer

Americans can participate in democracy in many ways. Name two: vote, join a political party, help with a campaign, join a civic group, contact elected officials, run for office, or write to a newspaper.

Democracy works best when citizens actively participate — not just by voting, but by staying informed, speaking up on issues, and engaging with their communities.

As a new citizen, you'll have more ways to participate than ever before, including voting and running for office.
