It’s election season, and we’re super curious to know what’s on the minds of young people aged 14-24 and what issues matter most to you in this upcoming election. Please share your responses by Feb. 27.
Circle these dates on your calendar: the primary election on May 14 and the general election on November 5.
This year, Baltimore residents are making some big choices—voting for the US President, Congress, Mayor, City Council, ballot measures, and more.
Quick reminder: Democracy is an ongoing thing, not just a one-day event. The voices of young people are often sidelined in political discussions.
But here’s the exciting part! Five local news crews—The Banner, Baltimore Beat, MPT, Morgan State University, and WYPR-FM—have teamed up for The Baltimore News Collaborative, which is funded by the Annie Casey Foundation.
