TurboVote is gaining traction across Florida. As the attached article from the Orlando Sentinel recently reported, the voter registration message has reached more than 1 million Florida college students. And as we know, more than two-thirds of them are in the Florida College System.
So it’s thanks to the Civics Initiative’s efforts that TurboVote is reaching the majority of Florida’s college population during this election cycle. Voting is the most basic – and vital – form of civic engagement. And who knows where it may lead from casting a ballot for the first time?
Keep up the civics education advocacy, especially TurboVote before the deadline to register for this fall’s election, which is Oct. 6. And please, send us your Best Practices and/or ideas for expanding civics education.
