iVOTE! NOW!
iVOTE! is a Northwestern University Collaboratory Project initiative funded by the McCormick Tribune Foundation that is encouraging Illinois youth to vote by using the Collaboratory, a web-based collaborative environment, to explore ways to bridge the gap between civic engagement, which motivates youth today, and democratic participation, which shapes public policy in ways that will attract young voters.
