Woocast's Politics & Polls

Young voters are notoriously criticized for not making it to the ballot boxes. What motivates young people to vote? And how we can ensure that more college-aged students make it to the polls this fall? In this episode, Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang are joined by Emma Parish ’21 and Kesavan Srivilliputhur ’23, two Princeton University undergraduate students who are part of the Vote100 initiative, which aspires for 100% of the Princeton  undergraduate body to engage civically, and for every eligible student to vote. The group engages in a lively discussion about what young people care about, their unique voting behaviors, and how older generations can help mobilize youth to vote.  This episode first aired on Facebook Live on Sept. 15.
