According to data from CIRCLE, Tennessee saw the lowest young voter (ages 18-29) turnout in the country for the 2022 midterm election — with only 12.7% of eligible voter participation.
In an effort to increase civic engagement + understanding among this demographic of voters, a new social media series called “Our Voices” has been launched by community partners in Chattanooga.
The series provides nonpartisan + bilingual civic lessons made for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. Topics range from foundational knowledge (i.e. explaining what a democracy is) to usable information (i.e. how one registers to vote).
Want to weigh in on future topics? Complete a short survey to get involved in the conversations.
Bonus: “Our Voices” is seeking high school and college-aged English + Spanish speakers to participate in the project. Folks who are interested can submit an application online.
