TEENS BECOMING WOLVES, WOLVES BECOMING VOTERS — “Roughly 25% of eligible Newark teens registered to vote for the April 15 school board election,” by Chalkbeat’s Jessie Gómez: “Roughly a quarter of eligible 16- and 17-year-olds have registered to vote in Tuesday’s Newark Board of Education election, but that number leaves out thousands of teens who could have signed up to vote for the first time. According to the Essex County Superintendent of Elections Office, 1,772 teens have registered to vote in the April 15 school board election. That falls short of the 7,257 who could have signed up, based on estimates from the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice. The final count of registered teens follows weeks of efforts by local organizations and school leaders to get Newark’s 16- and 17-year-olds signed up and ready to vote in the historic election, the first since Newark lowered the voting age to 16 for school board elections.”
