Why Teens Aren't Voting and How to Fix It | Venice Beach News
Description
America’s 250th birthday looms, but civic participation is in crisis—especially among teens.

It’s not apathy—it’s ignorance: young voters don’t know how to start. A bill requiring schools to teach pre-registration before 11th grade was vetoed, despite evidence that voluntary efforts aren’t working. With democracy under strain, lawmakers must act: teaching kids how to vote isn’t optional—it’s essential.
