This lesson plan from the Council for Economic Education for students, grades 9-12, examines the question of why many Americans don't vote. It interestingly ties the answer to some economic terms such as choice, cost/benefit analysis, and decision making. There is also a link to the student version of this lesson that can be followed on line.
