NextGen Climate unveiled a list of youth-dense Millennial Indicator Precincts in battleground states that will provide key insights into millennial turnout. The precincts chosen by NextGen Climate are all majority-millennial precincts, making voter turnout in these precincts a good barometer for youth voter enthusiasm on Election Day.
One of the 12 is Precinct BG 3-C (Bowling Green State University) in Bowling Green.
The site, nextgenclimate.org/turnout, will be updated with the latest turnout numbers for early voting on Monday evening and periodically throughout Election Day. Unlike exit polls, the Census’ Current Population Survey voting data, and other methods used to estimate voter turnout before the actual voter rolls are updated post-election, NextGen Climate’s Millennial Indicator Precincts will offer a real-time glimpse into the generation’s behavior in 2016 by comparing turnout to 2012 turnout in the same precincts.
