College Students Rarely Vote
By Sarah Wiles

College students are known for not having turning up at the polls.

Eighteen to 24-year-olds represent one of the lowest voter turnout groups in national elections.

Our own campus elections on Tuesday did little to change this trend among students. According to the Associated Press 42 percent of all eligible 18 to 24 year-olds voted in the 2004 presidential election. Here at UNC only 6,000 members of the student body cast ballots.
