#No_Yhacks : because the y chromosome could not be founds its late and I think I'm cute with that name

Problem :

According to U.S census bureau , about 38.5% of the population did not vote in the United States. On the citizen population 41.9% voted and on the registered population 64.9% A lot of eligible people between the age of 18 and 34 do not vote .

Possible reasons :

Some do not know how politics work in the United States. Some don’t know which politicians matches more their opinions. Some don’t know how to access trustworthy and non-biased information or they are just lazy. Some don’t know they can actually make a difference or don’t know where to start. And then there are those that just don’t care or don’t know how something can affect them.

Approach :

The new generation is a generation that now runs and relies on technology for about anything ! Whether it’s to replace teachers (wink wink), get random news , stay in contact with others and other things , through various mediums , technology has allowed people to access a lot more information faster. We tried to use that accessibility and apply it to political information
