Summary
AARP has identified 27,491 registered voters in the US Virgin Islands who did not participate in recent elections. The organization has launched a voter engagement campaign targeting residents aged 50 and older, urging them to confirm their registration status and make a plan to vote. AARP emphasizes that low voter turnout means community voices are absent when policy decisions are made.
