Major inequities in youth voting by state, race, gender, and age subgroups continue to plague efforts to build a representative democracy.

Differences in access to information and support for electoral participation continue to be reflected in unequal voting rates among youth.

Our analysis of 2022 exit poll data and population data highlights that white and college-educated youth remain overrepresented among midterm voters.

Youth's voting preferences in the midterm election were shaped by their identities and experiences

Young people care deeply about a wide range of issues, but data shows abortion was their top concern and had the biggest impact on their vote.

Recent polling finds that young people disagree with the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, and that it makes them more likely to vote in the midterms.

Our 2020 data showed that young Asian women, young Black women, and young Latinas were more likely to talk politics, participate in elections, and fight racism.

White youth voted at the highest rate in 2020, but youth of color are closing the gap.

Young women of color overwhelmingly disapprove of President Trump, but most disapprove of Joe Biden too even as they plan to vote for him.

Like their slightly older peers, youth ages 18-21 are active and engaged in civic life. Are the institutions that help them develop as voters doing their part?
