In 2004, the clothing retailer Urban Outfitters sold
a t-shirt with the slogan, "Voting is for Old
People". Did Urban Outfitters step over the line, or
were they a reflection of the sate of our democracy
and the demographics of current voters? Many
organizations have developed to combat the problem of
low youth voter turnout and disengagement. One of the
most well-known organizations is Rock the Vote. In
its 18 year existence, has youth turnout increased?
Have their efforts been futile or on the other side,
have they been successful in paving the way for the
youth to demand attention from the government and be
heard? The purpose of this research is to measure
the effects of the efforts targeted toward youth
voters over the past 18 years, in terms of voter
turnout using American National Election Studies
Data. The results show that voting is not just for
old people.
