Colleges Need to Begin Providing Voting Information With Every Orientation

High schools too, for students turning 18. The future of our democracy depends upon young people regularly voting.

1. Yeah, the reason young people don't vote is they don't know how.

Moar flyers should fix it.

2. You Might Be Surprised What They Don't Know

This would move voting further up on their radar screens.

5. Because that isn't something we've already been doing for the past twenty or thirty years.

Keep rocking the vote, man. Let's wait and see how that condescension pays off over another decade.

3. Red states have been doing all they can for a number years

to disenfranchise student voters...minimizing polling places, making them hard to access, adding burdensome requirements to the voting process. Anyone voting should verify their registration status immediately to ensure their registration has not been purged for some arcane reason (a typical red-state method of disenfranchisement). This vote is important.

4. Locally, the University of Pittsburgh does that.

At my daughter's orientation last month, they had booths set up to register kids to vote and show them how to vote absentee if they were already registered somewhere else.
