Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: It is generally assumed that mobilizing young voters is infeasible. This question can be broken into two component parts: 1) Are young people responsive to Get Out The Vote appeals? 2) Is it possible to deliver the message to the intended audience. By pooling together the results of six GOTV field experiments, this paper demonstrates that young voters are equally responsive to blandishments to vote, but that they are roughly three times more difficult to contact.
