Studies about Youth Turnout Strategies

There is a sizable and growing body of data that indicates that certain kinds of voter turnout techniques are quite effective at boosting youth voter turnout. A common thread that ties most of the studies together is the effectiveness of personalized, peer-to-peer voter turnout techniques. Young people are more likely to respond to an appeal to register or vote from a fellow young person, and respond most powerfully to a face-to-face encounter.
