closeThere are several ways to get involved with elections, especially for young voters.
College students who want to volunteer for a partisan campaign can check out the College Republican National Committee (www.crnc.org or 888-765-3564) or the College Democrats (www. collegedems.com). Other young adults can visit Young Republicans (www.yrnf.com) or Young Democrats (www.yda.org).
The Youth Voter Strategies Web site (https://youngvoterstrategies.electionmall. name/e-contentstrategy/news3.asp) has a list of nonpartisan groups.

Get it all with convenient home delivery of The News & Observer.
The News & Observer is pleased to be able to offer its users the opportunity to make comments and hold conversations online. However, the interactive nature of the internet makes it impracticable for our staff to monitor each and every posting.
Since The News & Observer does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not The News and Observer.
If you find a comment offensive, clicking on the exclamation icon will flag the comment for review by the administrators, we are counting on the good judgment of all our readers to help us.
