Noorya Hayat, researcher at CIRCLE, debunks the myth that Gen Z constituents are not interested in voting, saying "It's a case of access and not apathy." CIRCLE data indicating that about 41 million young people ages 18 to 27 will be eligible to vote this year is also mentioned.
CIRCLE's Alberto Medina says "Young people are not apathetic; they just need to see how their concerns are linked to political decisions.” CIRCLE data on Latino youth voter registration is included.
Tisch College spokesperson Jennifer McAndrew is quoted about youth activism and voting, and NSLVE and CIRCLE data are cited in this Hechinger Report reprint.
