When teens drive less, they don’t register to vote. Here’s how civic groups are adapting.
American teens driving less reduces opportunities to register to vote at DMVs, prompting civic groups like Open Democracy and The Civics Center to adapt with in-school registration drives. Over 7.5 million teens aged 16-18 lack licenses, with 3 million becoming eligible voters by 2028, as registration rates for 18-year-olds remain below 30% in midterms.
