When teens drive less, they don’t register to vote. Here’s how civic groups are adapting.

American teens driving less has led to fewer opportunities for voter registration at DMVs, prompting civic groups like Open Democracy and The Civics Center to adapt with school-based registration drives. Over 7.5 million 16-18-year-olds lack driver’s licenses, and registration rates for 18-year-olds in midterms remain under 30%. Partnerships like The Civics Center and the League of Women Voters aim to increase youth voter registration through state-specific training and toolkits.
