Your Vote-Your Voice/Su Voto-Su Voz
Registration
Details
Is the URM voice on mute? Is it a whisper or a shout? Is your voice being heard?
Please come and participate in our panel (with Professor Laura Tartakoff of CWRU and Ms. Elia Burgos of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections) to discuss the importance of your vote as your voice in our democracy.
Discussion Points:
- What is the current state of URM voter turnout in the US and Cuyahoga County?
-
What explains the lower voter turnout of URM versus that of white voters?
-
What are the historical and institutional factors that influence voter turnout?
-
What are the perceptions around voting as a democratic right among URM groups, particularly among college students?
-
What are the issues of most relevance to URM that can be influenced by voting?
-
How can URM get more involved in the voting process and become informed voters?
