Young Voters Play ‘Potentially Decisive’ Role in 2024 Election

Young voters could have a monumental impact on the election, including the deadlocked presidential contest. Nationwide, nearly 42 million 18-to-27-year-olds — the group known as Generation Z — will be eligible to vote, according to a Post analysis of 2022 census data. Nearly half are people of color. In the seven battleground states — Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — about 7.8 million Gen Zers are eligible to vote in this fall’s election.
