nice done! I have never thought that rural youth is mor econscious than urban! this fact is really sorprising for me… is there any reasonble explanation for this fact? Think it’s worth thinking about!
yeah! I didn’t know it either.There is a such big difference in voter turnout level between adults and youth. Moreover I couldn’t imagine that the rural population is more concious than the urban.
It doesn’t really surprise me that rural youth turned out to vote in larger numbers than urban. There’s more trouble and more crime in urban areas and people like that don’t vote. Just my simplistic way of looking at it.
Thx for giving download resource.
