How can we encourage voter turnout among the youth population?
Project Description: Voting in elections provides the opportunity for citizens to be engaged in their community’s democratic process and shaping how services are offered in their municipality. There is a general decline in voter turnout, particularly among the youth population. This project will undertake research on ways to increase youth voter turnout for municipal elections and to build interest in the importance of understanding municipal governance.
