The youth participation has been on rise for many years
– As the US elections are around the corner, the importance of young voters - between the ages of 18 and 29 years - and their power to tilt the elections in anyone’s favour cannot be overestimated. In the 2024 election, about 42 million young voters will be eligible to cast their votes. A person of 18 years or above can cast ballot in the US election.
In the seven battleground states of significance — Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — about 7.8 million young voters are eligible to vote in this fall’s election.As expected, youth prefers a candidate who gives a policy outline on issues such as environmental change and student loans.
According to Statista - a German-based platform that specialises in data gathering - in the 2020 presidential election, about 55 percent of voters aged between 18 and 29 years participated in the election. This was a huge rise from the previous polls cycle. As in the 2016 election, about 44 percent of youths in the same age bracket voted in the election. The highest youth turnout dates back to 1972 when 55.4 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 years voted in the election.It got a relatively less support from the young blood. It remained 37 percent in 2012 and 2016 polls. In 2020, 36 percent young voters supported the red party.
