"One of the greatest obstacles to voter turnout in general, and youth turnout in particular, is registration... While 18- to 24-year-olds make up less than 12 percent of the adult citizen population, they comprise a much higher rate—17 percent—of those who are unregistered."

Getting Youth Engaged in Democracy (SSIR)
Young people do turn out for elections—when they are registered. By getting all youth enrolled in high school, we can help achieve universal participation. Here's how to get it done.

👀 Under 30% of 18-year-olds are registered to vote, compared to 75% of those 45+. Imagine the power we unlock when more young people are engaged.

The central point is to increase the infrastructure to get teens to register to vote. Once registered, they tend to actually cast ballots.
