Election 2024: Youth Engagement
We were proud to participate in Common Cause Illinois and She Votes Illinois’ Youth Action Summit on Sunday, September 22. The event covered how 16 and 17-year-olds can pre-register to vote, the importance of combatting disinformation, what it’s like to serve as a Student Election Judge, and how to get involved in Election Protection poll monitoring.
You can now watch the event recording or get the highlights below!
Make sure you are registered to vote if you are eligible! This includes updating your address if necessary. You can register or update your registration online.
Sign up to be a student election judge. This is a PAID opportunity. Sign up ASAP—the deadline is approaching. This is open to high school students with at least a 3.0 GPA as well as college students.
Sign up to be a nonpartisan Election Protection volunteer. This is a great opportunity for people not able to be an election judge. Fill out the form on the lower right-hand side of protectthevote.net. You’ll be trained and can then sign up for 3 or 6 hour shifts on Election Day. This is a volunteer opportunity, but you’ll get some very cool swag.
Become a digital democracy activist. From the comfort of your own home, you can help fight against misinformation and disinformation. Join a great team that meets every Thursday from across the nation. Sign up.
