— from Governor Inslee’s Office —
Gov. Jay Inslee and Secretary of State Kim Wyman are partnering to increase the number of young people who vote through a voter registration challenge aimed at students in Washington’s colleges and technical schools.
“Voting is a fundamental right and one of our most important responsibilities as citizens,” Wyman said. “Democracy works best when all voices are heard, and statistics show that not enough young people take the time to register and vote. We need to turn that around.”
“We want to boost not only the number of young registered voters, but also the percentage of those registered voters who cast a ballot on or before election day,” Inslee said. “We want your help. Together, Sec. Wyman and I are launching the Governor’s Student Voter Registration Challenge. We are challenging student leaders at our colleges and technical schools to register as many eligible student-voters as possible.”
