Youth Vote Matters!

Elections are a season to understand the country’s political and economical strengths. It is also an eye opener into the voting patterns and how international issues can influence countrywide support for a particular candidate. Election prediction is one way to understand who the most favored presidential candidate is and what the voting ratios for every age group are.

There are ongoing political debates in every corner of the media. It is important that young voters receive as much information as possible since according to MTV research, it was found that 70% of young people knew someone who has fought the Iraq war and felt the need to elect the right candidate. It is estimated that more than 20 million youth voters will cast their rights to choose a person whom they think will be worth their vote. Political polls matter for the younger lot and they take every bit of news item seriously. Discussion network sites also encourage healthy debates on political issues to create awareness. In one way, it is a positive trend to see young people concerned about wars and economy. It is more of a promise to the future that the country can sustain its leadership with these socially-conscious citizens.
