DYC Creates MassVote Contest Video

This year the election brought out an incredible amount of voters, especially those voting for the first time. In response to this, and as part of the MassVote Eye on Democracy video contest, the Dorchester Youth Council has created a three-minute video about local views on the right to vote and the voting process.

Council members interviewed community members both before and after the voting process to gauge expectations and experiences. The answers ranged from praise to criticism, but all participants were passionate about the process.

Although all but one council member couldn’t vote this group of active citizens prove that you don’t have to be disengaged from the political process until you turn 18. This video can potentially impact the experience they have when they begin to vote in just a few years.
