In the 2020 presidential election, about ** percent of voters aged between 18 and 29 participated in the election -- a significant increase from the previous election year, when about ** percent of youths voted in the election. The highest youth turnout rate was in 1972, when **** percent of voters between the ages of ** and ** voted in the election.

As of late October 2024, young voter registration is lagging across a number of states when compared to the number registered on Election Day 2020. However, voter registration in swing states Michigan and Nevada increased by over 11 percent among 18 to 29-year-olds.

According to a 2023 survey of young adults in the United States, just over half of Americans between 18 and 34 years old were planning on voting in the 2024 presidential election. Voter turnout is likely to be highest among young Asian Americans, with 68 percent intending to vote in the general election. However, only 44 percent of young Black Americans in the U.S. planned on voting in 2024.

Recent research has cast doubt on the potential for many electoral reforms to increase voter turnout. In this paper we examine the effectiveness of preregistration laws, which allow young citizens to register before being eligible to vote. We use two empirical approaches to evaluate the impact of preregistration on youth turnout. First, we implement difference-in-difference and lag models to bracket the causal effect of preregistration implementation using the 2000-2012 Current Population Survey. Second, focusing on the state of Florida, we leverage a discontinuity based on date of birth to estimate the effect of increased preregistration exposure on the turnout of young registrants. In both approaches we find preregistration increases voter turnout, with equal effectiveness for various subgroups in the electorate. More broadly, observed pat- terns suggest that the campaign context and supporting institutions may help to determine when and if electoral reforms are effective.

According to a 2023 survey, young adults in the United States were politically divided when it came to important political issues. Among those planning to vote for a Republican candidate, more than two-thirds considered securing the border their most important issue. In contrast, securing the border was the most important issue for *** percent of young Americans planning to vote for a Democratic candidate.

By 2028, it is estimated that Gen Z and millennial voters will comprise the majority of eligible voters in the United States. In the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Gen Z and millennial voters will make up around **** percent of eligible voters in the country.

In this dataset the data regarding the research on text vs voice vs combined conversational agent voting advice applications can be found. Conversational Agent Voting Advice Applications (CAVAAs) have been proven to be valuable information retrieval systems for citizens who aim to obtain a voting advice based on their answers to political attitude statements but desire additional on-demand information about the political issues first by using a chatbot functionality. Research on CAVAAs is relatively young and in previous studies only the effects of textual CAVAAs has been examined. In light of the positive effects of these tools found in earlier studies, we compared different modalities in which information can be requested to further optimize the design of these information retrieval systems. In an experimental study (N = 60), three CAVAA modalities (text, voice, or a combination of text and voice) were compared on tool evaluation measures (ease of use, usefulness, and enjoyment), political measures (perceived and factual political knowledge), and usage measures (the amount of information retrieved from the chatbot and miscommunication). Results show that the textual and combined CAVAA outperformed the voice CAVAA on several aspects: the voice CAVAA received lower ease of use and usefulness scores, respondents requested less additional information and they experienced more miscommunication when interacting with the chatbot. Furthermore, given the fact that the predefined buttons were predominantly used and stimulated users to request also more and different types of information, it can be concluded that CAVAAs should make information accessible in an easy way to to play into CAVAA users’ processing mode of low elaboration.

According to a 2023 survey, young adults in the United States were divided when it came to important political issues such as border security, gun violence prevention, and addressing climate change. However, the majority of young Americans considered the cost of living and inflation a top political issue, regardless of their race and ethnicity.

Replication Data for: Rock the Registration: Same Day Registration Increases Turnout of Young Voters

This statistic depicts how motivated young voters are to vote in the 2018 United States midterm election. During the survey, ** percent of voters between the ages of ** and ** reported being very motivated to vote in the midterms, compared to **** percent of voters who reported being not at all motivated.

Due to the fact that the existing discussions referring to the planned decrease of voting age from 18 to 16 this topic should catch some attention.->In this empirical study on the occasion of the parliamentary election in Austria 2006 the attention was drawn to the young voters who have an higher education, a higher interest in politics and in correlation to that a more intense political media consumption.->The study was conducted on the one hand with the browser game www.powerofpolitics.com and on the other hand with the internet presence of the daily newspaper Der Standard.The major issue was the Ann-Arbor-Model developed by Campbell et. al. on the University of Michigan in the 1950s. As a result of that model voting behaviour concurs with political-institutional, social-economical and psychological factors. The natural centre always builds a more or less strong party identification, which colours virtually every other possible factor. Further more the study was searching for the real potential of young voters when it comes to relate different party statements to the suitable party. A glance is taken to the childhood and the possible impact of political homogenous parents. The study should offer a comprehensive view of young voters, who are always being reckoned as political uninterested and querulous.

Do changes in health lead to changes in the probability of voting? Using two longitudinal datasets, we look at the impact of three measures of health—physical health, mental health, and overall well-being—on voting trajectories in young adulthood. The results show that self-rated health is associated with a lower probability of voting in one’s first election, depression is related to a decline in turnout over time, and physical limitations are unrelated to voting. We also find that some familial resources from childhood condition when the health-participation effect manifests.

About this dataset

This dataset contains the data behind Why Many Americans Don't Vote.

Data presented here comes from polling done by Ipsos for FiveThirtyEight, using Ipsos’s KnowledgePanel, a probability-based online panel that is recruited to be representative of the U.S. population. The poll was conducted from Sept. 15 to Sept. 25 among a sample of U.S. citizens that oversampled young, Black and Hispanic respondents, with 8,327 respondents, and was weighted according to general population benchmarks for U.S. citizens from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey March 2019 Supplement. The voter file company Aristotle then matched respondents to a voter file to more accurately understand their voting history using the panelist’s first name, last name, zip code, and eight characters of their address, using the National Change of Address program if applicable. Sixty-four percent of the sample (5,355 respondents) matched, although we also included respondents who did not match the voter file but described themselves as voting “rarely” or “never” in our survey, so as to avoid underrepresenting nonvoters, who are less likely to be included in the voter file to begin with. We dropped respondents who were only eligible to vote in three elections or fewer. We defined those who almost always vote as those who voted in all (or all but one) of the national elections (presidential and midterm) they were eligible to vote in since 2000; those who vote sometimes as those who voted in at least two elections, but fewer than all the elections they were eligible to vote in (or all but one); and those who rarely or never vote as those who voted in no elections, or just one.

The data included here is the final sample we used: 5,239 respondents who matched to the voter file and whose verified vote history we have, and 597 respondents who did not match to the voter file and described themselves as voting "rarely" or "never," all of whom have been eligible for at least 4 elections.

Electoral registrations for parliamentary and local government elections as recorded in electoral registers for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

In many places around the world, young voters participate in politics at low rates. What factors might increase youth political participation? We investigate one possibility: exposure to a religious message that emphasizes the possibility of change through faithful action. We argue that this message, which is common in religious groups that attract large numbers of youth around the world, addresses several barriers to political participation by young voting-age adults. Working in collaboration with the major religious coalitions in Zambia, we randomly assigned young adults (18-35 years old) into civic engagement workshops. Identical informational material, based on pre-existing, non-partisan curricula, was presented in each workshop. Workshops then concluded with one of two randomly assigned, pre-recorded Christian motivational messages based on existing religious programming in Zambia. In some workshops, the concluding message emphasized a Christian obligation to work towards the greater good. In other workshops, the message emphasized the power of faith to make change in the world. Materials in this dataset include the .do file replicating results presenting in the paper and the de-identified dataset produced by our implementing partner, IPA-Zambia, that was analyzed with that .do file. The READ.ME file includes descriptions of the attached files.

This statistic illustrates the youth voter turnout in midterm elections in the United States from 1974 to 2022. In the 2022 midterm election, it is estimated that around ** percent of voters aged between 18 and 29 years old participated in the election.

Voting is a fundamental human right. Yet, individuals that are younger than 18 do typically not have this right since they are considered politically uninformed. However, recent evidence tentatively suggests that political knowledge of youths is endogenous to the voting age. I test the hypothesis that having the right to vote can stimulate the acquirement of political knowledge. Utilizing voting age discontinuities I employ a regression discontinuity strategy on Swedish register data to estimate the effect of early age voting right on political knowledge. The results do not support positive effects of early age voting right on political knowledge. Thus, we should not expect that 16-year-olds respond by acquiring more political knowledge if they are given the right to vote.

Why and how parties continue contesting elections (“repeated entry”) is an under re-searched question despite its essence for party survival and party system stability. We study repeated entry in three decades of elections in 10 Central and Eastern European countries using a new dataset that records almost 1,000 entry decisions. Our findings underline the importance of separating between first and second league parties based on whether in the previous election a party could obtain representation alone. First league parties (those that could gain representation alone) almost always contest the next election. Second league parties (those that could not win representation alone) exit electoral competition quite frequently and adopt more diverse repeated entry strategies. We find that second league parties’ repeated entry depends on their closeness to the representation threshold, access to resources, and the number of competitors in their niche, but not on institutional constraints or voter dissatisfaction.
