Assatta Mann, senior community organizer at the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, told Bolts that organizers faced challenges with making kids aware of their right to vote and getting them up to speed with how to register. Changing the voting age for this election required an overhaul of the New Jersey Division of Elections registration system and the agency wasn’t ready to open the rolls until February 1, leaving only two months for kids to register. “Those are some of the major challenges we’re facing, and that’s just around registration, let alone actually then making sure people get to the polls.”
