What Motivates Gen-Z to Vote with Annabel Roubinowitz

Digital Politics with Karen Jagoda

Annabel Roubinowitz, a high school senior living in San Francisco, surveyed her Gen-Z cohorts to find out what issues they are concerned about and why they do or do not vote. While young people seem excited about hot-button issues like reproductive rights and gun control, they are not registering to vote or turning out to vote in expected numbers. Annabel's research sheds some light on how candidates can tap into this rage and enthusiasm to engage more Gen-Z to vote.

We talk about:

• What turns Gen-Z off about voting
• What issues are relevant to Gen-Z post-COVID
• Advancing from online activism to voting
• Advice for candidates to get the attention of Gen-Z
• Role of peer pressure to change behavior and attitudes
• The podcast tbh: by, about, and for teenagers podcast Annabel did as part of the KALW Public Media project
