Young voters have historically had the lowest voter registration and participation rates of any age group in the United States.

But in recent years, more states have adopted policies aimed at increasing voter registration, including among U.S. citizens newly of voting age.

Minnesota's Democratic governor, Tim Walz, signed a voting bill into law about three months ago that would make it easier for young people to register to vote — even before they turn 18.

"Because the issues impacting them — from access to medical care, to the climate, to other things — makes them understand the ballot is the most powerful thing we have," he said. "Your voice is in your ballot. And if you don't have access to that or it's made more difficult, your voice is stifled."
