As Democratic Primary Continues, So Does Youth Participation

Exit polls from Tuesday’s Democratic primary elections in Indiana and North Carolina indicate continued strong youth voter participation. The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning Engagement estimates that 434,000 young voters cast ballots yesterday. Exit polls also showed young voters heavily supporting Senator Obama, 74% to 25% in North Carolina and 62% to 38% in Indiana. In Indiana, anecdotal reports demonstrated the effects of Indiana’s voter identification law, recentlyupheld by the Supreme Court, as nuns and students were turned away at the polls for lack of proper identification.
