Young Voters by State 2024

Young Voters by State 2024

There are many voters in the US, and one group, in particular, is making their presence felt, and that group is young voters (18 to 29). Based on recent reports, more than half of the people in this group turned out to vote in the 2020 Presidential election. Those numbers also show a remarkable jump of more than 10 percent.

The number of voters in the 18 to 29 age bracket is about 13,751,000. Although the number of voters isn't necessarily staggering, the story is less about the number of voters and more about the voter turnout. Historically speaking, young voters have always had one of the lowest voter turnouts. That is also another reason why the nearly 60 percent of youth voters that showed up to the polls were so shocking.

The 2018 midterm elections saw the highest youth voter turnout at about 30% after hovering around 20% since the early 1990s. The 2022 midterm was slightly lower at 27%. However, young voter turnout was about 31% in competitive battleground states.

Young Voter Turnout

In addition to the impressive turnout numbers for young voters, a young voters' movement has led to more attention for this voter segment. However, there is some disparity in those numbers, as some states showed more traditional young voter turnout results. Oklahoma, for example, reported just over a 30 percent turnout for young voters. On the other end of the spectrum, states like New Jersey revealed a whopping 75.3 percent turnout for young voters.

If these numbers indicate anything, young voters are now making an impact and changing the political landscape in America. There is also some direct correlation to the ease and technology of voting prompting more young voters to register and show up at the polls. States that offered more voting options (e.g., early registration, same-day registration) also had a stronger young voter turnout.

States that offered more voting options generally exceeded 50 percent turnout for young voters. On the other hand, states that offered fewer options saw young voter turnouts closer to 40 percent. One thing is certain; the recent rise of young voters has warranted more attention from politicians and the country.

The Future for Young Voters

Young voters in America have been asked to take an interest in their government for years, and now that message has been received. What that looks like for future elections and the country's future remains to be seen. What is certain, though, is that the young voters are making their presence felt and making a difference in the U.S. and the world of politics.
