Kendall Bartling, an undergraduate majoring in political science and economics, earned the Young Civic Leader award from Civic Nebraska for inspiring young people to participate in democracy. He is chair of the Husker Vote Coalition, which helped register more than 1,000 first-time voters.
Each year, Civic Nebraska's Strengthening Democracy Awards recognize Nebraskans who embody the spirit of a more modern and robust democracy.
Bartling is among five Nebraskans honored by the organization this year.
