Yahoo! News/Texas Tribune: Most 18-year-old Texans arenโt signed up to vote despite a law requiring voter registration in high schools
Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager at Common Cause Texas, noted that some states reward schools that register students. Tennessee acknowledges schools that reach a certain voter registration threshold, and Pennsylvania has a governorโs civic engagement award to celebrate schools that register 85% of eligible students to vote, for example.
Common Cause also recommends that the secretary of stateโs office mail each school voter registration applications, instead of requiring schools to request them twice a year.
