The Campus Cup, hosted by the office of Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson, is a state-wide competition that pits Utah’s colleges and universities against each other to register the greatest percentage of voters. Henderson presented the award to six BYU students representing the Office of Civic Engagement at the Capitol in Salt Lake City earlier this week.
Humanizing messages does almost nothing to increase empathy in people with high animosity toward an outgroup, although they do increase empathy in those who already view the group positively.
A new study from BYU and the University of Virginia analyzed 400 million voter records from elections in 2014 and 2016 and found that minority citizens, young people, and those who support the Democratic Party are much less likely to vote than whites, older citizens, and Republican Party supporters. Moreover, those in the former groups are also more likely to live in areas where their neighbors are less likely to vote.
As places like Utah, Arizona, Michigan, and Maryland gear up to hold local elections this summer and fall, history predicts that they will see an average of 29–37% fewer voters than they would were their elections held “on cycle,” in tandem with state and federal elections.
