Registering Young Voters

Yesterday was National Voter Registration Day. The Civics Center, an organization devoted to n high school voter registration and civic engagement, notes that four million young people turn 18 every year, and the vast majority of them are eligible to register before they graduate from high school.  But most are never even asked to register in their schools.  The Civic Center’s report, Future Voter Scorecards, is the first effort measure how school districts are doing in getting new 18 year olds registered to vote.
