This document summarizes a study on political participation among Mormon Millennials. A survey of 50 BYU-Idaho students found that they report voting at higher rates than the national average for their age group, though they demonstrate low levels of political knowledge in the survey. Focus groups with students suggest obstacles to their political engagement include a lack of trust in government, lack of political knowledge, disliking partisanship, feeling politics are not relevant, and a belief that individual votes do not matter. The author is developing a website to help educate Millennials on politics.
To understand the Voting Behavior of the Urban Youth (India)Arveen Shaheel
With India going into elections in 2014, there’s been a constant buzz and unavoidable conversations about Politics. People have shifted from indifference & resentment towards politics, to talking about the subject & finally finding solutions. With majority of Indians comprising of the Youth, we believed they held the key to unlocking the future of politics; & their thought process is one, that no longer can the Political Parties ignore.
It’s this idea that inspired us to go ahead with our research which is- “To understand the Voting Behavior of the Urban Youth”.

Colorado Unaffiliated Women Voter Post Election Survey Summary 121714Magellan Strategies
This document is a summary of a post-election landline and cell phone survey of 500 unaffiliated women voters in Colorado that voted in the 2014 general election. The interviews were conducted on November 17th and 18th, and the survey has a margin of error of +/- 4.38% at the 95 percent confidence interval. This group of women voters contributed 14% of the total vote, or 286,283 votes of the 2,080,071 total votes cast in the 2014 election.
The survey used Magellan Strategies Colorado segmentation data to draw the sample, which only surveyed female unaffiliated voters that voted in the 2014 general election. The three unaffiliated segments used were Lean Republican Unaffiliated, True Middle and Lean Democrat Unaffiliated. Among all unaffiliated women who voted in the 2014 general election, 17% were Lean Republican Unaffiliated, 48% were True Middle and 35% were Lean Democrat Unaffiliated.
Most observers of Colorado politics would confirm that unaffiliated women voters are an important voting block that can decide most elections in the Centennial state. These women voters are less partisan and more likely to consider candidates of both parties. This survey attempts to understand how these women viewed: the 2014 candidates for the United States Senate and Governor, the dominance of women’s issues, the Republican and Democrat parties, and their support for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

POL 100 03: Introduction to Government and Politics
Dr. Ramjee Parajulee
November 05, 2020
Over the last few decades’ young people have had a loss of faith in the political system. One of the symptoms of the decline in trust with the political system is the decline in voter turn out from youth. Between 1984 and the year 2000, the number of youth that voted went from 75.3% to 61.2% in the Canadian federal elections (Adsett, 2003). There are a number of reasons Canadian youth have begun to turn away from the political system. First, when compared to past generations youth have developed a sense of distrust with politics and a lack of responsible citizenship due to emerging social movements. Second, politicians fail to address many issues that young Canadians value, which has caused youth to lose faith in the current, set up of our political system. Third, there is a lack of education and discussion during youth’s formative years; leaving many youth disengage from politics. Fourth, the low voter turn out may be due to a lack of motivation to register to vote, which would further cement youths belief that the political system is a strenuous and complicated system that they can’t partake in. Finally, there is a huge cultural gap between today’s politicians and today’s youth due to the lack of political presence on the internet. Young people spend a huge amount of their time on the Internet and they may feel that politics today is out of touch with their needs and daily lives.
Today’s youth have developed ideologies and a preference for social movements that have meant very few youth have a sense of how to part take in traditional citizenship. After decades of wars that were against the public’s opinion, from the Vietnam War to the Iraq War, youth have developed a sense of mistrust of politicians. The anti-war attitude that youth currently have has meant that wars have become divisive issues rather than uniting issues. D. Fisher (2012) has explained that when compared to past generations who grew up during wartime, such as World War 2, the current generation of young people are unlikely to engage in any form of political and civic activities. Previous generations felt the need for nationalism and action-based citizenship whereas today’s youth have little need to participate. Furthermore, even youth who have a strong sense of what a “good” citizen should be end up with a weak idea of civic duty and prefer to emphasize the rights of citizens over the responsibilities (Goodman et al., 2011). Hence there is a clear pattern emerging among the young generation to remain aloof from the political process.
Anti-war sentiments are not the only areas that leave youth feeling disconnected and doubtful of today’s politicians. In general, the issues that matter most to youths are rarely addressed during election periods. R. Shabazz (2008) recognizes that “people h ...

Abstract
Millennials vote less in political elections than any other age group. Does
prophetic guidance make Mormon Millennials vote more than the national
average? This project used surveys to determine the level of self-reported voting
among students at BYU–Idaho as well as a snapshot of their general political
knowledge. Focus groups allowed students to elaborate on survey responses.
Unexpectedly, students surveyed reported that they vote much higher than the
national average, but lack political knowledge. This shows that voting rates are
only an indicator of political activity, but not able to evaluate the effectiveness
of each citizen. Moving forward, Michael DiPaolo is developing a website, shown
here in demo form, to aid Millennials in politically educating themselves.

4. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 4
Politics Have Failed Us:
How to Change the System
Harvard’s Institute of Politics reported that “less than one-in-four (23%)
young Americans say they will “definitely be voting” in November [2013]” (Low
midterm, 2013). That bothered me, and it made me wonder if Mormon
Millennials were just as politically inactive as the rest of the nation. Doctrine
and Covenants Section 134 states:
We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of
man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to
them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and
safety of society.
Given that Mormons receive prophetic counsel to sustain their
governments, I hypothesized that Mormon Millennials should be more
politically active than the national average, but still less than desirable
(developed democracies average 70% voter turnout. The U.S. averages 60%
(Voter turnout).).
Methodology
Existing research was first sought out and compiled. Missing information
necessary to proving the hypothesis was then gathered through a survey and
focus group.
A survey was sent to a random sampling of 300 BYU–Idaho students. 50
responded. Respondents who provided an email address were invited to attend
5. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 5
a focus group. One focus group was held; seven people were in attendance.
Quantitative Results
My survey entitled “Mormon Millennial Politics” was sent to a random
sampling of 300 current BYU–Idaho students. The sampling was provided by
the school. 50 responses were recorded (35 complete; 15 partial; 70%
completion rate).
Demographic Analysis
All respondents were between the ages of 18 and 29, the average age was
21.5, and respondents came from 15 of the 50 United States.
Politically, 27 (56.3%) identify themselves as Republican, 2 (4.2%) as
Democrat, 5 (10.4%) as Independent, 6 (12.5%) as None, and 8 (16.7%) as
pertaining to other miscellaneous parties.
Political Knowledge
Respondents were asked to rate themselves on “how knowledgeable” they
are “regarding politics.” 29% ranked themselves as below average (1–4), 29%
ranked themselves as average (5), and 43% ranked themselves as above
average (6–9). No one ranked themself a 10. The average score was a 5.24.
When asked if respondents “want to be more knowledgeable,” 40 (82.6%)
answered “yes,” 7 (14.3%) answered “no,” and 2 (0.4%) answered “don’t care.”
The survey asked a series of questions to assess the general political
knowledge of respondents. The questions are listed below along with how many
6. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 6
were able to answer each question accurately:
What is the name of the current president of the Senate?
o Answered correctly: 5 (13.1%)
What is the name of the current speaker of the House?
o Answered correctly: 10 (26.3%)
How many U.S. Senators are there?
o Answered correctly: 17 (44.7%)
Political Activity
Respondents were asked if they voted in the 2012 and 2014 elections.
Results are displayed in Table 1.

2014 6 (12.5%) 32 (66.7%) 10 (20.8%)
2014 (of eligible) 6 (15.8%) 32 (84.2%) N/A
Respondents were also asked if they were going to vote in the 2015
primary election and the 2016 presidential election. Results are shown in Table
2 and Figures 1 and 2.

9. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 9
Exactly 50% reported that they are currently registered to vote.
Additionally, 28 (63.6%) agree that “other people [their] age are
interested/concerned about their community.” When asked for examples of
how they have “seen others demonstrate their interest,” discussing issues on
social media, voting, and giving service were commonly cited responses. The
other 16 (36.4%) disagree.
Attitude Toward Politics
When asked if they “think that politicians in Washington D.C. are
addressing issues that matter to [them],” 20 (45.5%) answered “yes,” and 24
(54.5%) answered “no.”
However, when asked if they “feel like politics are directly relevant to your
life,” 31 (89%) answered “yes,” and only 4 (11.4%) answered “no.” When asked
if they “feel like [they] have the power to change anything in government,” 12
(34.2%) answered “yes,” and 23 (65.7%) answered “no.” Some have suggested
that the ability to vote online would help voter turnout; Of those who
responded to this survey, 23 (65.7%) agree, and 12 (34.2%) disagree.
10. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 10
Qualitative Results
Survey results from BYU–Idaho students were able to clarify some answers.
Many respondents think that politicians in Washington D.C. are more
concerned with selfish issues like retaining a position in government than with
the needs of the people. Many also think that politicians are more interested in
fighting with each other than with solving the issues facing the country.
Respondents were split as to whether others their age are interested or
concerned with their community. Those who answered affirmatively cited food
drives, volunteer work, and community service as examples of interest and
concern. Those who answered negatively frequently referred to “arguing” or
“not thinking” in some form. They feel that others their age are too selfish or
too lazy to be concerned about the community.
A majority of respondents (89%) think that politics are directly relevant to
their lives. When asked to explain, few were able to cite a reason other than
“because I live in this country.”
Respondents were also split as to whether they have the power to change
anything in government or not. Those who feel powerless explained that their
vote does not count because it is one among millions, and their representatives
are not looking out for them. Those who feel empowered referred to the fact
that each congressman can be contacted by individuals.
During the focus group, an interesting problem emerged from one individual
and agreed upon by the group: there is too much to know about politics. It is
11. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 11
hard to start learning because no one knows where to start.
In the articles read, the most predominant obstacles to the Millennial’s
political participation are the following:
1. Lack of trust in government and/or elected officials
2. Lack of political knowledge
3. Dislike of partisanship
4. Lack of perceived relevance
5. Disbelief that a single vote can make a difference
12. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 12
Analysis
Quantitative Results
It is no surprise that the average age is about 21 at the school, and that
the dominate party is Republican. These numbers support the authenticity of
the sample. It is also important to note that every student surveyed is currently
enrolled in an institution for higher learning, which automatically makes him
or her more likely to be politically knowledgeable and active. The results that
demonstrate a lack of knowledge or activity should be more striking for the
same reason.
Over one-third of respondents ranked themselves as being more
politically knowledgeable than average, but of those, 72% were unable to name
the president of the Senate, 56% were unable to name the speaker of the
House, and 33% were unable to correctly cite the number of U.S. Senators
currently serving. This shows that this survey brought out some self-reporting
bias. People are not as politically knowledgeable as they think they are.
Of those eligible to vote, the reported turnout was above the national
average. This number could be affected by the self-reporting bias, but could
also be affected by the fact that this sample represents a well-educated
population.
Qualitative Results
Most explanatory answers show that this group has a low level of trust for
government. That holds consistent with other reports and studies targeting the
13. HOW TO CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM 13
Millennial generation. The perception is that politicians are selfish and not
looking out for the common people. In a focus group, attendees were unable to
give clear examples as to how they know this to be the case, but the feeling
remains. Attendees also confirmed that fighting is a big perceived part of
politics. They indicated that these arguments are rarely, if ever, productive. The
relevance of politics suffers the same situation: some feel politics are relevant,
but they are unable to give clear examples of how.
Those who feel powerless can only reference voting as a form of political
expression. It is likely that they are not aware of other, potentially more
effective forms of political expression.
Conclusion
Existing research showed that Millennials in Utah vote less than the
national average. Mormons make up 60% of Utah’s population, so this may
suggest that Mormon Millennials vote less than the national average.
Survey results show that Mormon Millennials at BYU–Idaho voted in 2012
at twice the rate of those in Utah. These results support my hypothesis, but
they are self-reported and do not account for self-reporting bias.
