Politico recently published an article on March 22nd about the correlation between education and actually voting. The study done by Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement at the University of Maryland shows that constituents under the age of 30 were 3 1/2 times more likely to vote if they graduated college or at least had some secondary education.

The article goes on to explain that college campuses are the easiest way to target the youth voters, but there needs to be a way we can reach the majority of the youth that actually do not attend college.

I think that some of this can be done in High School. This would be a great time to have students register and give them an opportunity for education. Another step is utilizing student network tools such as facebook and myspace. There are many students and non students out there who do not know the power that is entitled to them.
