As the Jan. 5 runoffs draw closer, young Georgians are working to mobilize their peers to vote again — or for the first time in their lives. 'As a voter in Georgia, I never felt more like my vote counted than this past election,” one college student said.

During the general election, voters 18-29 made up 20 percent of the Georgia electorate, according to NBC News. As the Jan. 5 runoffs draw closer, young Georgians on both sides of the aisle are working to mobilize their peers to vote again — or for the first time in their lives.

Madison Potts, a 21-year-old senior at Kennesaw State University and president of the school's chapter of the NAACP, said she's been working on helping get fellow students registered and providing them with information on how to acquire their absentee ballots if they are away from home. During a virtual rally on Friday, Ossoff said the election is"going to come down to youth turnout, so I am calling on young people to make a plan to vote."Ossoff held a get-out-the-vote rally aimed at young voters and students in Cobb County on Thursday, not far from Kennesaw State University's campus.

While some young people are not old enough to vote in the runoffs, they are still working to make a difference, such as co-leader of the"Students for Ossoff and Warnock" organization Ishani Peddi, 17, from Peachtree, Georgia.
