Political Science

Rock the Vote is a popular organization that tries to get young people involved in voting. However, young people are not the only demographic with comparatively low voter turnout. Design a group similar to Rock the Vote, decide what demographic they will target and why, determine which political party this will likely benefit the most, and how they will go about increasing turnout. This activity will familiarize you with factors that decrease voter turnout for these groups, help you recognize the importance such initiatives hold for both that group and the political system as a whole, and get you thinking more like problem-solvers than art critics by developing a solution. You will design a website for your new group using Wix (www.wix.com).  This assignment will achieve the goals of Learning Objective 11.2 in Chapter 11.
