LWVEF Launches 2010 High School Voter Registration Project

The LWVUS Ed Fund is pleased to announce a major new initiative to bring more young people especially young minorities into the democratic process.
Through a joint collaboration with Project Vote, the LWVEF will be working with Leagues in five states (AZ, CA, FL, IL and TX) this spring to encourage voter registration in 100 high schools with a high-percentage of mi-nority students.
This project will provide voter registration and education through classroom activities and assemblies, and expects to help 27,000 17- and 18-year-olds apply to become registered voters. It will also serve as a ground-breaking, statistically significant experiment to determine the comparative effectiveness of registration strategies.
The resulting analysis will help determine the most effective strate-gies for engaging high school students and help inform an upcoming manual for Leagues and other organizations to utilize in planning their own high school voter registration activities. Stay tuned for more details.
