ELECTION YEAR

On Tuesday, November 7, 2006, Americans across the country will vote in the mid-term elections. Although the youth vote surged by 11 percent in the 2004 presidential elections, citizens in the 18-24 bracket are consistently the age demographic with the lowest voting percentage. The percentages decrease when you isolate African American, Asian American, or Hispanic youth voters. The following sites provide information on voter registration and polls, the candidates, and issues important to you. There are also links to organizations that try to get young voters out to the polls and opportunities for you to get involved.
