Nov. 12 - Ever since 18- to 20-year-olds were granted the right to
vote in 1972, many of them haven't exercised that privilege. And
throughout modern history, those aged 21 to 29 have typically been
less likely to vote than older Americans. After a brief spike in 1992,
turnout among 18- to 29-year-olds in the 2000 presidential election
dropped more than 20 percentage points below the national average—46
percent to the other age groups' 72 percent.
