Wow, kind of surprising with that kind of incentive. Perhaps they had never registered to vote, or didn’t know how or where to do that. And we’re ashamed to admit it. Young people are surprisingly clueless sometimes. Next time, maybe teach them that well in advance of the election, incentivize them to register.
They hear me talk about civic and Patriotic duty every single day and how important these things are to their future well being. And they all agree. They just cant be bothered. Sleeping in is more important than their future apparently.
I will offer the same incentive in November. I will follow your advice and also give them a day to register and print out a "How To" sheet to put in with thier paychecks.
Yup thats what Im going to do. Next Friday they are going to get a letter in their paychecks on how to register. I will inform them that the following Monday we are working from 6 to 12 and they can have the rest of the day off. Anyone who registers or is already registered will get 100 cash in their check the following Friday. Come election day we will take the day off. If they bring in an I Voted sticker they will be paid for 8 hours. Anyone who doesnt will lose a lot of their OT without that 8 paid hours because I do OT after 40.

Perhaps they have learned helplessness, they don't believe things can really be changed for the better.
