​​​​​​​Engaging young people and supporting their electoral participation must happen year-round, and it’s never too early to start with an eye toward 2024.

Many of the states with high youth voter turnout in the 2022 midterm elections had strong policies that make it easier to register and vote.

Civic learning that reaches all youth, includes media literacy, and helps foster a democratic school climate is key to growing voters.

Young voters are more likely to trust elections and feel democracy is secure, as well as to identify as independents.
