The organization will then work to turn out this informed electorate to the polls. AARP's GOTV initiative is part of its nonpartisan New Hampshire Presidential Primary Project.
Older persons vote.
We vote in greater proportion than any other age group. In 1996, nearly 70 percent of registered voters 65 and older voted, or double the rate for those 18-24. Of our total membership, we know that more than 25 percent are interested in political and legislative issues, and want to be involved in the political process. Reaching the 50,000 likely AARP voters will be critical in our efforts to turn out informed voters on February 1st. Central to AARP's GOTV initiative will be the distribution of printed and video versions of the AARP Presidential Voters Guide, released for the first time today.
