College-Age Women Are More Likely to Vote Than Their Male Counterparts
Posted on Jan 04, 2012 | Comments 0
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that in the November 2008 election, 61.7 percent of women ages 18 to 24 were registered to vote and 52 percent actually voted. For college-age men, 55.3 percent were registered to vote and 45.1 percent actually voted.
Voting rates for college-age men and women increased in 2008 over the previous presidential election in 2004.
The question is: Will college-age men and women turn out to vote in 2012 at the same rate that they did in 2008?
