In the months leading up to this November's presidential election, we're thinking about the issues people in our community care about most – including the concerns of younger voters. Today on In The NoCo, we hear from two student reporters at Front Range Community College to get a sense of what's on the minds of their peers.

It’s the presidential primary election in Colorado today and In The NoCo is looking at how our state has been in the spotlight leading up to the election — and how young voters feel about casting their ballots.

More young adults are expected to vote in the upcoming election than in previous years. In 2018, Colorado ranked among the top three in youth voting, with a rate considerably higher than the national average. While the state can boast a high turnout for Generation Z and Millennial voters, Metropolitan State University of Denver is leading the charge.
