Sarakanti Iyer
Sarakanti Iyer is a rising college freshman working with Civic Engagement Beyond Voting - Youth, an Indivisible group. Last spring, Sarakanti registered approximately 95% of eligible students at her school to vote. With CEBV-Y and The Civics Center, she planned and ran statewide voter registration drives in 38 schools across Arizona in 2023. This fall will mark their third round of statewide drives. For her work in voter registration, Sarakanti was presented with Arizona’s 2023 NASS John Lewis Youth Leadership Award. Sarakanti is also working to establish student members on Arizona school boards. She hopes that her work will allow young people across her state and nation to be heard.
