Youth Vote assignment

Here is a list of books compiled by Lise on youth vote:

Young citizens in the digital age
Youth in Canadian politics : participation and involvement

We have others that cover voter turnout but not specifically youth. E.g.
Get out the vote! : how to increase voter turnout
The Canadian federal election of 2006

We have books that cover the broader concept of political participation + youth. E.g.,
Challenging McWorld

SFU Library has more books on this topic than we do. E.g.
Youth to power : how today's young voters are building tomorrow's progressive majority
Young citizens : young people's involvement in politics and decision making
