The overall voter turnout rate in the presidential election of 2012 was about 58%, with the rate among young voters, those ages 18 to 29, just 45%. Even in hotly-contested presidential elections, why don't more eligible U.S. voters go to the polls, and how can more young people be encouraged to get engaged and vote? A day-long symposium, I Count Because I Vote, will be held tomorrow at Northern Kentucky University to explore the issues that impact voting, in America, and in our region.
