Voter turnout among young people is relatively low among all states. While many states require a civics course to be taken in high school, there are some outliers. States that have more civics courses as a requirement may have more informed voters, but the correlation between the two is not clear. Maryland is very good about civic education starting from elementary school. They do a great job at teaching about the importance of voting and getting youth engaged. They even allow 16 year olds to vote in local and state elections. Businesses like Snapchat have also encouraged teens to register to vote by sending them a message through the app. While there are some great things being done to get young people voting, there is so much more that still needs to be done to create educated, informed voters who are active in their communities.
