Students work to create urgency to vote
Published on
ASU's State Press reported that with the general elections on Nov. 6 fast approaching, political organizations at ASU are seeking to bring millennials, a demographic that typically follows politics but rarely participates in elections, to the polls.
The youth vote is notoriously difficult to turn out. A recent study released by ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy found that voter turnout in Arizona is generally low, but even more so for young people. Only a quarter of registered millennials voted in the 2016 general election. Only 4 percent voted in both the 2016 primary and general elections.
