Voter turnout rates for voters 18 to 29 have been trending up in recent years, yet younger voters continue to have the lowest turnout of all age groups. Younger voters offer many explanations for not participating in elections--they are rigged, politicians don’t follow through on promises, voting itself is confusing or difficult to assess, and ultimately, their vote doesn’t matter. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas discusses why and how your vote matters with Keesha Middlemass, a fellow and associate professor of American politics and public policy at Howard University, and how public education can help recenter a culture of democracy with Senior Fellow Jon Valant, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy.
