As we all know, Toronto is going through its own municipal election. However, there is also an election taking place south of the border in the United States called the Primary Election.
A primary election is the process by which voters can indicate their preference for a candidate in an upcoming general election. A problem that takes place in all elections in voter turnout, primarily the lack of representation when it comes to young people.
As a way to address this issue an organization called "Knock The Vote" created a video and published it as a public service announcement. It's now being televised across the States.
Don't Vote: A Knock the Vote Campaign
Once you've seen the PSA create a response in your blog explaining your thoughts on the commercial. How did you respond to the ad when you first watched it? What do you think of the ad? What does it say about those who go out and vote? Do you think the ad will work in persuading the youth of America to go and vote? Explain your response.
