This project was completed as part of the 2018-2019 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with Ramsey County. Historically, Ward 1 Precinct 9 in St. Paul, which encompasses the Frogtown Neighborhood, has experienced lower-than-average election turnout when compared to the rest of the state, especially among voters ages 18-24. Ramsey County Project Lead Dave Triplett worked with students in Doug Chapin’s PA 8081:
Election Administration Capstone Workshop to identify strategies to increase youth voter turnout in this precinct in future elections. The students’ final report and presentation are available.
Read the final student report delivered to the local gov/community partner.
