Newark hosts voter registration campaign for youth after lowering voting age to 16
This week, Newark officials will launch voter registration efforts to promote participation among 16- and 17-year-olds in April’s school board race.
Whether it’s curriculum, being able to learn and understand your own history, being able to decide or have a say in what foods you get served, our young people are now going to be able to have a direct say in that, and they’re the people who are directly affected.
