Abstract	The booklet contains political education materials drawn from Wisconsin state and Federal government legislation, newspaper articles, and publications from political interest groups and educational organizations. The main purpose of the document is to help educators design and implement political science and citizenship education programs in response to the lowering of the minimum voting age to 18. The document is presented in six chapters. Chapter I describes attempts by Wisconsin educators to introduce high school students to civic skills, particularly voting procedures and objectives. Chapter II focuses on Wisconsin's Age of Majority Bill. The text of the law is followed by discussion of the law's implications. Chapter III reviews political education programs in several Wisconsin school districts. Chapter IV offers a check list of 23 criteria for program development. Chapter V presents a list of agencies, publishers, and materials dealing with political education. The final chapter discusses possible future directions of the Wisconsin State Social Studies Political Science Subcommittee. (DB)
