Dallas high school senior, Ariana Singh, is encouraging her fellow Gen Z classmates to register to vote and get involved in the political process. Singh, who started a non-partisan group called Gen-Z Votes, recently attended a national roundtable discussion on youth voter engagement at the White House. She organized a successful voter registration drive at her school, emphasizing the importance of young voices being heard.
Singh’s passion for civic engagement has inspired other students, like Shruti Sharma and Amaad Garrett, to also get involved in registering voters and educating their peers on the voting process. They believe that voting is a rite of passage and a critical way for individuals to express their beliefs and opinions.
The students recognize the importance of being educated on voting procedures and are utilizing social media platforms like TikTok to reach and inform other young voters. They are part of a growing trend of increased voter turnout among Gen Z voters, as evidenced by data from the Center for Information and Research at Tufts University.
As the deadline to register to vote in Texas approaches, these students are working tirelessly to empower their peers to take advantage of their right to vote and make a difference in the upcoming election. Through their efforts, they hope to bridge the civic engagement gap among young people and encourage more participation in the political process.
