The youth vote doubled percentage wise last American election, and it still lagged behind the rest of the age groups. Young voters are catching up but generally youth votes are still behind, and the youth ends up underrepresented.
If this website is to be believed, about 23% of the youth voted for the 2022 midterm elections. That’s a huge increase over the 14% youth turnout in 2018, but with an average above 52% that’s still less than half of what it should be.
It’s not just an American problem, there are plenty of other countries where the youth vote turnout is disproportionally low. I don’t think that’ll change without drastic measures, such as mandatory voting.
the last like three elections would like to have a word with you

Just allow secure text message voting and you’ll have 90% for the youth vote.
Lol people lost their shit with mail in ballots
Digital voting is stupid and dangerous, especially remotely. Vote via mail it you have to, but for the love of God don’t fall for a voting app.
