Students Don't Vote Absentee Because "They Don't Know Where To Get Stamps,"

If it isn’t bad enough that today’s college goers get irate if they have to trek a whole mile to a polling place, a recent focus group discovered why they won’t vote using absentee ballots:

They don’t know where to get stamps.

WTOP reports the Fairfax County (Virginia) Office of Public Affairs found out this summer that the United States Post Office “seems to be a foreign concept” to college students.

The office’s Lisa Connors said students will go through the whole process of obtaining and filling out an absentee ballot, but then are flummoxed at what to do with it.

“That seems to be like a hump that they can’t get across,” she said.

From the story:

The focus group included college interns from across numerous county departments.

“They all agreed that they knew lots of people who did not send in their ballots because it was too much of a hassle or they didn’t know where to get a stamp,” Connors said.
