《浪漫投票亭》
投票是人民應盡的義務，同時也是權力，對於剛年滿18歲的青少年來說，更是意義非凡，因為這是他們人生第一張實質意義上的選票。
Marva即是這批新鮮人的其中之一。
那天，當她投下自己神聖的一票，還在為自己完成任務而感到滿足與自豪時，卻看到杜克被拒之門外並被告知他無法投票，因為他的名字並不在其特定投票地點的名單上…
雖然故事的重點是投票，但沒有妖魔化任何特定政黨，也沒有花多大的篇幅在談民主等等議題，而是更多地關注投票這個舉動，及其對於青少年族群的意義。
Marva Sheridan was born ready for this day. She’s always been driven to make a difference in the world, and what better way than to vote in her first election?Duke Crenshaw is so done with this election. He just wants to get voting over with so he can prepare for his band’s first paying gig tonight.Only problem? Duke can’t vote.When Marva sees Duke turned away from their polling place, she takes it upon herself to make sure his vote is counted. She hasn’t spent months doorbelling and registering voters just to see someone denied their right.And that’s how their whirlwind day begins, rushing from precinct to precinct, cutting school, waiting in endless lines, turned away time and again, trying to do one simple thing: vote. They may have started out as strangers, but as Duke and Marva team up to beat a rigged system (and find Marva’s missing cat), it’s clear that there’s more to their connection than a shared mission for democracy.Romantic and triumphant, The Voting Booth is proof that you can’t sit around waiting for the world to change…but some things are just meant to be.
