One of the effects of coronavirus is extreme uncertainty about the upcoming elections. Idaho will be conducting its May 19 primary entirely by mail, but what about getting people to vote? Especially young people, who will make up 40% of the voting population by November?
An organization called What The Vote Idaho is tackling this challenge head on by working to get youth registered — and voting — in these upcoming elections. Joining Idaho Matters today are organizers Nancy Viano and Chris Stokes.
As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.
