Such a privilege to be a part of this great panel at my first WPSA!

NEW: Over the past year, we joined @RuralAssembly's Rural Youth Catalyst Project to convene a learning community focused on growing voters in rural areas. We've released a brief with major findings and recommendations based on our shared insights. circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

NEW: Young Asian Americans are increasingly engaged as voters and leaders on issues like climate, but they still face barriers to participation—including their own sense of whether they are "qualified" enough. More from analysis led by @Peterdeguz: circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

New analysis!

Our research in @OklahomaWatch: Oklahoma does not have same-day, automatic, or fully online voter registration. CIRCLE researcher @Peterdeguz talks about how those and other policies could help strengthen youth voting. oklahomawatch.org/2023/04/03/as-…

On this week’s episode of #TheGreen, we speak with @Peterdeguz, Associate Researcher at Tufts' @CivicYouth, about younger voters, the issues they care about, and their potential impact on the country’s political future. Tune in at 2pm! ➡️ ow.ly/Vq1q50Nrptz #netDE

Grateful for the opportunity to learn from all the young organizers, leaders and researchers at today's event!

As we track early ballots and in-person voting in tomorrow's Georgia runoff election, some key context: GA is one of several states that has imposed new restrictions that may present barriers to youth participation.

TURNOUT: We estimate that 27% of youth cast a ballot in 2022—the second-highest youth turnout we have seen in a midterm election. In battleground states, we estimate that turnout was even higher: 31%. This is an early, day-after estimate that may shift! circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

"Young people are fed up": Inside the fight to defend young voters ift.tt/7jWSzNd

There's a lot of talk about whether youth are motivated to vote by issues and candidates. But are they also supported by policies that make it easy to register and vote—or hindered by restrictive election laws? Our latest analysis, led by @Peterdeguz: circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

Young voter registration numbers in states such as; Michigan, Kansas, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia are higher than in 2018, @circle data reveals. Researcher @Peterdeguz says it's largely due to campaigns and organizations, which are more prominent in battleground states.

TOMORROW: Join PFP for a panel discussion of our research paper on increasing Black voter turnout in #bospoli. We'll hear from paper author Steph Domond, @laurenjhharper @theWelcomePAC & @Peterdeguz @CivicYouth. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Our researcher @Peterdeguz spoke to @WPR's @GabyVinick about the youth vote's potential impact in Wisconsin—if organizations close outreach gaps and contact youth who aren't in college and other young people frequently neglected by campaigns. wpr.org/get-out-vote-e…

In a battleground state where candidates win by the slimmest margins, experts say even a modest share of voters could swing the midterm election. And young people are a formidable force. My latest for @WPR

Are you watching early voting/data? Some lessons to keep in mind re: voters under 30 from @Peterdeguz in his latest analysis for @civicyouth: bit.ly/3yW3PNR

NEW: Nearly half of youth voted by mail or ballot drop-off in 2020, and many are poised to do so again in the 2022 midterms. But youth are more likely to return their ballots later and could face issues in states with early deadlines + other restrictions. circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…

NEW: Asian youth are a rising force in the electorate, and most prefer to vote by mail or ballot drop-off. Our analysis led by @Peterdeguz w/ insights from @APIAVote breaks down the data and what laws restricting mail voting could mean for this community. circle.tufts.edu/latest-researc…
