Great to hear from you. There are many ways to get involved. If you know teens or educators, please encourage them to attend a Run-A-Drive Workshop. There is one tomorrow and next Wednesday. https://www.thecivicscenter.org/voter-registration-drive
Where can I get data on youth voter turnout in my congressional district? I am doing voter drives at community colleges and I like to share the data to try to increase voter turnout, especially in primary elections and midterms.
Where do you live? We have published Scorecards for different states and counties. We have generally published data at the school-district, city, or county level, rather than by congressional district. We are actively seeking funding to expand the geographies we cover, so it would help to know where there is a need. To the states and counties we have covered so far, please check out thecivicscenter.org/publications. In addition, we published our most recent report (re NH), here on Substack. https://thecivicscenter.substack.com/p/research-report-spotlight-on-new
What a great idea! How can I get involved? I live in Californa.
