When teens drive less, they don’t register to vote. Here’s how civic groups are adapting.

Fewer American teens are driving these days, which is making it harder for them to register to vote, traditionally a rite of passage linked to driving. In New Hampshire, civic groups have found innovative ways to engage young people despite reduced driving. This shift is crucial because it underscores the importance of adapting civic engagement strategies to reach younger voters, whose participation is vital for a healthy democracy. As teens rely less on cars, these new approaches could redefine voter registration efforts nationwide.
