An IU study finds Hoosiers are more involved in their communities than most states — except when it comes to voting.
The Civic Health Index is a joint effort of I-U, the Indiana Bar Foundation and the Indiana Supreme Court.
The survey finds Hoosiers the second-most-likely to talk politics online and the eighth-most-likely to read or listen to the news. Yet, voter turnout in 2016 was the 10th worst in the nation.
And while last year’s off-year turnout was Indiana’s highest for a midterm election in 32 years, it paralleled a surge in voting nationally, leaving Indiana the nation’s eighth-worst in turnout.
