Young voters could decide the November election, experts say. They just have to show up

The Spring 2024 Harvard Youth Poll found approximately 53% of Americans ages 18-29 indicated they would “definitely be voting” in the upcoming presidential election.

The 2020 election broke the record for younger voter turnout in the history of a general election.

A study by the Center for Information on Civic Learning and Engagement ( CIRCLE ) found the 2020 election was the second -highest young voter turnout.

To receive more attention from candidates, younger voters must demonstrate higher levels of preliminary engagement.

The priorities and preferences of younger voters are aligned with the majority of Americans .

Inflation, health care, and the cooperation of the political parties were comparatively the most important issues to Americans overall.

More than 38,500 people registered to vote in the first 48 hours following Vice President Biden ’s announcement that he would not pursue reelection and Vice President Harris would be running in his place.

85% of the new registered voters are under 35 and 18-year-old voters alone make up 18% .
