Empower the Vote

The "Build the Vote" initiative aims to educate and mobilize the youth and young adults in Charlotte County about the importance of participating in local elections, with a focus on housing issues.

Your opinion matters!

Your opinion matters! Tell us what you think Charlotte County needs to become a better place for young adults like you. From affordable housing to more entertainment options, we want to hear it all.

"In 2022, out of 50,826 Millennial and Gen Z residents in Charlotte County, only 8,886 were registered to vote. Of those registered, just 1,648 cast their ballots. This highlights a significant gap in voter participation among our younger generations, a gap we aim to bridge through education and engagement."

National Impact

When young people don’t vote, our key issues stay in the shadows. Across the country, Millennials and Gen Z can drive change on big topics like housing, climate, and social justice. By voting, we can set a trend and push these critical issues to the top of the national agenda.
