Final Background Thoughts

One thing I forgot to mention with regards to declining voter turnout and the fact that the most important factor seems to be age is that one of the biggest contributing factors is a declining sense of civic duty.

So, tackling turnout also needs to tackle civic duty. Could this be a task for political communications? And a task that could be aided by new media technology?

Anyway, moving on. I think the best place to find any information on the impact the use of technology might have in engaging people to vote is the USA. We'll see what we can dig up.
