California Teens: Pre-Registering to Vote
Description
Californias pre-registration program for 16-17 year-olds to vote has seen a dip during the pandemic, with participation not recovering. Youth turnout remains low, with only 43% of 18-24 year-olds voting in 2024. Experts suggest pre-registration could encourage lifelong voting habits. Schools arent effectively promoting the program due to weak civics education, lack of funding, and campaigns overlooking young voters. Nonprofits are stepping in with workshops and drives, aiming to boost participation and close the turnout gap.
