The United States has one of the world’s lowest youth voter turnouts, with fewer than one in five young people casting ballots in all Super Tuesday states in 2020. In response, WNET is expanding its established Preserving Democracy program—a cross-platform, multi-tiered public media project that encourages civic engagement—to reach youth. Building on its digital initiative connected to more than fifty partner stations across the country and Ballotpedia, the nonpartisan online political encyclopedia, WNET will provide a national platform of local content related to civics, voter tools, and the electoral process. With Corporation support, WNET will go beyond its traditional PBS and NPR audiences to engage college-age voters—including at community colleges—by reaching them on media platforms such as Instagram, Threads, and TikTok.
