After an effort to register and turn out voters by ConnPIRG through the national, non-partisan New Voters Project, turnout from the polling place near the UConn Storrs campus was amongst the highest in the country. Nationally, the increase in youth voter turnout was four times the rate of the general population’s increase (4% for youth, 1% overall). The result was widely praised as one of the best youth turnouts in Mansfield.
