To study the effects of plastic on the environment, I would first collect information on how much plastic is being used and how it is being disposed. Then, I would observe the impact of plastic on wildlife and ecosystems by conducting field research and collecting data on the amount of plastic pollution.

The evidence provided is relevant to the claim as it supports the idea that people have alternative voting options. However, the evidence may not be sufficient on its own as it does not cover all possible voting options available, such as absentee voting or voting at designated drop-off locations. To make the claim more convincing, additional examples of voting options could be included to provide a more comprehensive picture.
