This November, voter turnout in California could be the
lowest ever seen in a mid-term general election. Mindy Romero, Director of the California Civic Engagement Project of the UC Davis Center for Regional
Change, will present new research on the relationship between demographic change and low voter turnout in the
state and discuss how both these factors might impact
the upcoming election.
Mindy Romero is the founding director of the CRC's California Civic Engagement Project (CCEP). Mindy’s scholarly work focuses on the intersection of political behavior
and race/ethnicity, with an emphasis on conducting research that has on-the-ground relevancy for California’s
communities. Mindy has been invited to speak on issues
of civic engagement and political rights, including testimony to the National Commission on Voting Rights and
the California Legislature. Her research has been cited in
numerous major news outlets, including the Washington
Post, Los Angeles Times, SF Chronicle, Politico and the
Huffington Post.
