Election season is in full swing nationwide, but young voters in New York apparently don’t seem to care.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, concerns about youth voter registration in New York persist. In New York state, only 42.7% of eligible first-time voters are registered to vote, significantly less that the 77% of eligible residents aged 45 years or older. Voting organizations observed only a slight increase over the last few months in 18-year-olds who registered, from 40.4% to 42.7%.
