He's Only 16, But That's Not Stopping This Idaho Kid From Getting Out The Vote

BABE VOTE

It’s been a busy fall for Boise 16-year-old Shiva Rajbhandari‏. In his spare time he works with Babe Vote, a non-partisan group that helps register voters in our state and encourages people to commit to a voting plan.

Since Rajbhandari‏ is underage he can’t vote yet, but he’s already registered more than 400 people to cast their ballot during this unique and consequential election. Rajbhandari‏ joins Idaho Matters live today to talk more about this push from Gen Z to get out the vote.
