Are you voting or are you sitting this election out?

On the next Your Call, we'll discuss voter participation. The outcome of the election will determine everything from who controls the House to important ballot measures in California, but if historical trends hold, only 40 percent of eligible voters will cast a ballot. What motivates your decision to vote? Join us at 11 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Do you believe voting is a civic duty? And what does low voter turnout say about civic engagement? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar.

Guests:
Dan Shea, director of the Center for Political Participation at Allegheny College

Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation

Joe Mathews, senior fellow with New America Foundation

Roberto de la Cruz, organizer with the Todos a Votar Coalition
