In 2024, 47% of eligible voters aged 18-29 cast a ballot. The 2026 midterms present a critical opportunity to increase that percentage and encourage civic participation in youth demos. A large percentage of this demographic are students. From partnering with educational institutions to crafting targeted social media campaigns celebrating voter-centered holidays, meeting young voters where they are is essential to ensuring the continued success of our democracy.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act was introduced in early 2026, and has since passed through the House of Representatives. As of this post, it’s still under consideration in the Senate. The requirements of the SAVE Act are repetitive, inefficient, and would further complicate the processes already in place nationwide. Though the provisions of the bill are meant to protect the sanctity of American elections, its passing would cause more damage than it prevents. The SAVE Act would increase burdens on election officials, creating additional errors they must remedy, opening avenues that make them susceptible to civil and criminal penalties, and raising their concerns for personal safety.
