Political science professor Julia Maskivker’s recent book, The Duty to Vote, has been featured in an article in The New Republic.

The article, written by editor-in-chief Win McCormack, distills the major points of Maskivker’s book—mainly that citizens have a moral duty to vote and vote from a place of informed judiciousness. Maskivker argues that the moral duty to vote comes from a more general duty to seek justice, defined as a society’s equitable provision to all its members of at least the minimum primary social goods necessary for a decent life.

Founded in 1914, The New Republic is one of the leading voices in politics, culture, and the arts.
