CIRCLE researcher Peter de Guzman talks about the youth vote in the 2022 midterms, ongoing barriers to voting, and what communities and institutions can do to increase youth participation in 2024.

Young people are the age group most supportive of abortion rights, and two in five of them nationwide said the overturning of Roe v. Wade made them more likely to vote, according to CIRCLE.

CIRCLE Deputy Director Abby Kiesa speaks about young people's civic and political engagement, gaps in youth outreach, and what it's going to take to ensure all youth have the information and access they need to vote.

Last year’s midterm elections had the second-highest youth voter turnout in 30 years, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.

According to CIRCLE, young voters gave Evers "extraordinary support" with 70 percent of the vote versus 28 percent for Republican challenger Tim Michels.

CIRCLE’s analysis of AP VoteCast data and election results from other news outlets suggests that Gen Z voters and millennials were pivotal in deciding the most competitive elections.

Young women, especially women of color, are much more Democratic than young men, according to Tufts University’s Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.

CIRCLE's Alberto Medina says that, by not talking to youth, the Republican Party is "also not hearing from them and getting valuable input from young people on what they want to see from the Party.”

Gen Z’s actions indicate “that they really want to have a role and say in making change in their communities and in this country,” said Abby Kiesa, CIRCLE’s deputy director.

Another analysis conducted by the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, found young Hispanic American voters under the age of 30 gave more support to Democrats on Election Day compared to young white voters.
