All across the world, we see new voters participating at lower rates than voters who have been participating for many years. This problem is particularly acute in the United States where the disparity in participation rates between younger and older voters is especially large. This failure to include new voters weakens our society and leaves democracies across the world less resilient in the face of growing long term threats. Both the K-12 and higher education systems offer extraordinary opportunities to welcome all new voters to our democracy. Seizing these opportunities requires us to weave together expertise from across disciplines in original and unique ways. At CDCE, we support research, convening, and professional development opportunities for students related to this issue
