Rock the Vote: CHICAGO: YOUNG VOTERS TURN OUT

"This election will go down as one of the hottest local races of 2011, and young Chicagoans made a big impact at the polls. Although exact turnout by age group will take a few more days to process, Chicago’s five most youth dense precincts experienced a significant 14% increase in turnout, well above the city-wide increase of 8.6 percentage points (33% overall turnout in 2007 vs. 41.6% in 2011).  Chicago’s most youth dense ward, the 44th, includes the Lakeview neighborhood and saw almost twice as many ballots cast yesterday than it did in 2007."
