TARGETING THE YOUTH VOTE:
The Role of Technology in Seeking Untapped Young Voters

VIDEOCONFERENCE SERIES: Race for the Presidency

PRESENTERS:

Aaron Dorn - Young Republican
Addison Pate - Young Democrat

PURPOSE:

This videoconference will explore the potential of the youth vote and its prospective impact on the 2008 election and beyond. Within that context, we will look at how campaigns and other organizations are appealing to attract young voters and how they are working to actualize the potential impact of young voters by capitalizing on new tools and reexamining old methods.

 

For politicians and political parties, the youth vote is an untapped gold mine not only for the current campaign, but also for the future.

Could a high youth voter turnout be a result of voter mobilization or enthusiasm inspired by the candidates? These politically-active Millennials are socially active, engaged in volunteerism, and determined to make the world a better place.
