Young people in the United States are more invested in this year’s election than in years past, preliminary studies suggest. Not only are they turning out to vote, but they’re actively contributing to the process by knocking on doors for campaigns and volunteering as poll workers.
Some of this participation has been driven by corporations incentivizing their young employees to pitch in.

Other retailers contributing to this effort include Gap, Target, and Warby Parker.
