(July 2014)\u00a0The\u00a0Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE), the nation\u2019s premiere youth think tank based at Tufts University\u2019s Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, released a new, interactive online map showing New York\u2019s 23rd\u00a0Congressional District race is one that should be watched because of young people\u2019s potential role in November\u2019s upcoming election for that seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to CIRCLE, the 23rd\u00a0Congressional District race is one of four U.S. House elections this year in which youth turnout should be watched most closely, because of the competitiveness of the race, the size of the youth population, and\/or the historical youth turnout trend. \u00a0The others include the Arizona\u2019s 1st, Arizona\u2019s 9th\u00a0and the Iowa 3rd\u00a0Congressional District elections.<\/p>\n

The dynamic new map released by CIRCLE provides an in-depth view of young voters searchable by every congressional district in the nation, including New York\u2019s 23rd\u00a0Congressional District.<\/p>\n

Representative Tom Reed is defending his seat in a district with roughly a quarter of the population between 18 and 30, and a large number of college campuses.\u00a0In the two House elections he has won, he has done so by less than 5 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n

The online map allows viewers to look into the youth make-up of the New York\u2019s 23rd\u00a0Congressional District in a number of additional ways, including:<\/p>\n

Socio-economic factors including unemployment and educational attainment, demographic information and the number of higher education institutions located in each area;<\/p>\n

And the political and social make-up of each congressional district, providing viewers with information relating to potential ballot measures, competitiveness rankings<\/p>\n

\u201cYouth voters continue to play a pivotal role in our country\u2019s elections,\u201d\u00a0said Peter Levine, director of CIRCLE.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAs we enter the 2014 midterm election season, it\u2019s important to give the public and the media a place to find some of the most up-to-date, comprehensive data on young Americans provided in an easily searchable format. In New York\u2019s 23rd\u00a0Congressional District, and in many other congressional elections across the country, youth voters have the ability to make a decisive impact on the result.\u201d<\/p>\n

CIRCLE\u2019s online\u00a0\u201c2014 Election Center\u201d\u00a0houses analysis and findings most relevant to the midterm elections, including an additional interactive map released by CIRCLE in May that illustrates the most detailed analysis of the youth vote, broken down by state, comparing every national election since 1982.<\/p>\n

CIRCLE is well known for producing unbiased analysis on youth voting in every election cycle.\u00a0 In addition to publicly released products, CIRCLE\u2019s team of experts are also available to help put current data on youth voters and politics into a broader context based on their own research and knowledge of scholarly literature on the subject area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
