To vote or not to vote: in the midst of Fall 2012’s exciting national and state election season, it’s a question many are asking, and will come to answer differently. What’s the practical impact of voting rules? What’s been done to engage voters who’ve historically been hard to reach, and how effective have those efforts been? What is the ‘real deal’ with younger voters, typically considered least likely to cast ballots
"To Vote of Not to Vote: Turnout Challenges for 2012" will be a panel discussion at the Crawford Family Forum, 474 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena on Friday morning, Sept. 28, from 8:30-10 AM. The forum is hosted by KPCC and the Pat Brown Institute.

The panel will be Scott Bowman (Chair, Political Science at California State University, Los Angeles); Kathay Feng (Executive Director, California Common Cause) ; Bill Wong (Bill Wong LLC Strategic Counsel); and Justin Levitt (Associate Professor, Loyola School of Law).
