How Do We Get People To Vote?

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just 23.1% of those ages 18-34 voted in the 2014 midterm election, and 46.1% of voters ages 18-29 voted in the 2016 presidential election. These are quite concerning when you begin to think about just what our country has allowed to take place in politics within the past four years. When looking at how statistically low these numbers are, the question begins to be posed "how do we get more people out to vote"? The best and most traditionally considered tactics fall within door-to-door canvasing, making phone calls, and sending mail. While these strategies have proven to produce an optimum outcome in previous years, our numbers are dwindling as time goes on. So, what next? All signs of social research are pointing to the most effective forms of campaigns taking place through social media. This includes Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and whatever is to come. While the social reception of voting has become not only more inclusive, but more important than ever, our forms of reception have completely changed. Opposed to the informative face-to-face conversations our political volunteers used to be able to have, the new ways of informative outreach limit their information disbursement to single meme's, captivating images, and short (10-second) video's. Do you think these displays of information are helping or hurting the future of our country? What better ways do you think could be practiced to produce higher volumes of turn out?
