The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate（候选人）. Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republieans.

But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote（投票）, especially the young generation According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn’t vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.

This is not only because young people don’t like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.

“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think polities or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US.“But for the older age groups, they have a home they pay taxes（税）, they care about schools and the community.”

Many believe that the civic（公民的）education of an American youth is another reason why they don’t vote.

Students usually just to community services like cleaning the neighborhoods, This means they haven’t learned how to link real life problems to polities through voting according to Christopher Beem, a polities professor at the Pennsylvania State University.

He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in polities and get them to see that they can make a difference.
