A student researching voting has taken notes:
• Youth voter turnout has historically been low • Civic education can increase political engagement • Online voter registration has increased registration rates • Young people engage politically through social media • Several countries have considered lowering voting age to 16
The student wants to explain barriers to youth voting.

Young people increasingly engage in politics through social media.
Online voter registration has helped increase registration rates.
