We’ve heard for years that no matter how passionate young voters may speak about politics, they don’t turn out in significant numbers on Election Day. 

But when have young voters cast their ballots — and what made the difference? Friday at 11 a.m., we’ll look into the history of young voters in the U.S. and at young voters right here in Utah, asking what makes them different from their peers around the country and how they are aligned. With Utah having one of the youngest populations in the country, these voters matter. But will they turn out on November 3rd?
