As a pivotal election creeps closer and closer, it was all about enticing voters to hit the polls during a Pasco County festival on Sunday. 

  • Rally encourages people to register to vote
  • Focus on getting young voters involved in the process
  • Push comes in the wake of Parkland shooting

The push comes at a time when teens are seeing the words 'register to vote' all over social media. 

In the wake of the Parkland shooting, dozens of survivors have taken to Twitter, urging their peers to take part in the electoral process. 

But is it working? 

Andrina Krug was one of the many who registered to vote this weekend.  She says she hasn't been swayed by student activists and just wants to make sure her voice is being heard. 

"Now that I'm 18 I can be involved in more stuff than I ever could have, and I just love being involved," she said. 

Nathan Tatum, 17, registered to vote before even hitting the legal age. That way the day he turns 18, he will be in the system and ready to hit the polls. 

"It's inspiring to me to see people my age standing up for what they believe in and fighting for what they believe in," he said.

From what he's heard around school, Tatum feels this election will have a stronger turnout than ever for first-time voters. 

"I do think that a lot of other students my age who feel that same way and are inspired in that same way," Tatum said.
