The Internet Impacts Citizen Participation

"Rock the Vote" is an organization aimed to encourage young people to participate in elections and vote. This organization was found twenty years ago and has evolved much over the years. When the internet became more widely used, "Rock the Vote" developed a website. The website contains information about upcoming elections and how to register to vote. One of the main problems among young people is that they don't feel like taking the time to register and they don't understand the importance of participating in elections. "Rock the Vote" makes is more simple and it has done a great job getting more citizens involved. One of the most valuable things about the internet is that it makes things more simple and much faster.
