CAUSE
One question. One truth.
“Why is voter turnout low among youth?”
The primary cause of low youth voter turnout is a lack of political belonging. Less than 25% of youth feel connected to a politically expressive group, which directly reduces their motivation to participate in elections.

CURRENT STATE
This lack of political belonging produces widespread disinterest among youth, reflected in only 47% turnout in 2024 and low voter registration rates (44% for 18-year-olds). Socioeconomic struggles and confusion about political systems compound this disengagement.
