Dr. Meena Bose, professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and executive director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, talked to Newsweek about a possible uptick in Americans who choose not to vote in the 2024 election. A CBS News/YouGov poll found that only 80% have definite plans to cast ballots.



“Voter outreach, active campaigning and encouraging party members to vote are all key strategies to building political support for the presidential campaign,” Dr. Bose said.
