Description of Opportunity
The Knoxville Voter Turnout Coalition (KVTC) is collaborating with the University of Tennessee to examine strategies to increase voter turnout in the Knoxville area. For the past 20 years, Tennessee has ranked among the lowest states in voter turnout (ranging from 42-46 among the 50 states), and Knoxville’s voter turnout in local and regional elections often does not even reach 20% of eligible voters. The KTVC/UTK collaboration is seeking to increase voter turnout through fully nonpartisan strategies. We seek assistance from students in Communications and Journalism who have interest and experience in social media and other communication and marketing skills and strategies .
