Late Breaks - Youth-e-Vote

At a recent National Association of Student Councils (NASC) conference where more than 1,800 middle and high school student leaders gathered, NASC and Youth-e-Vote joined forces in order to encourage interest in government and politics among youngsters. Youth-e-Vote, powered by election.com and Freedom Channel, Inc., launched a campaign to increase the involvement of young Americans in the political process. This partnership will permit elementary, middle and high school students to vote for president, House, Senate and governor one week before the national election.
