She said it’s hard knowing where some politicians stand on the issues.

“Nobody is really straightforward,” Bell said. “At this age we have a hard enough time keeping up with our school work and so adding another layer to that is a bit much.”

She said she will probably register as an independent, although she said the Republican Party platform is more likely to reflect her opinions.

Bell said more people her age would register if it was easier, such as an online process.

“I feel like if they would do that, if it was all online, more people would do that, especially among people my age,” Bell said.

A new law should address some of those wishes.

State Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, shepherded a bill into law this year allowing the Oklahoma Election Board to develop an online voter registration system beginning Nov. 1.

“Online registration is going to be useful to people of all ages and demographics, but there’s no question it’s most useful to young people who expect to be able to accomplish these kinds of tasks online,” Holt said. “So I’m hopeful it will increase registration among young people when all you have to do is tweet out the link.”
