Group Draws in Young Voters With Puppies at the Polls

NextGen Pennsylvania aims to defend Bob Casey and re-elect current Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf.

NextGen Pennsylvania is trying a new recruitment method to encourage young Americans to cast their vote โ€“ puppies.

Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania will host โ€œPuppies at the Polls.โ€ The event hopes to draw young voters to polls ahead of the 2018 Midterm Elections by offering puppies to play with, as well as information on this yearโ€™s election.

Temple University will host the event on Monday, Nov. 5, at the Temple University Bell Tower.

โ€œPuppies at the Pollsโ€ travels to UPenn the day after, Tuesday, Nov. 6, at the Van Pelt Library.

Both programs will begin at 10:15 a.m. and run until 2:00 p.m.

NextGen America is an environmental advocacy nonprofit and political action committee created in 2013.
