"In 2022, out of 50,826 Millennial and Gen Z residents in Charlotte County, only 8,886 were registered to vote. Of those registered, just 1,648 cast their ballots. This highlights a significant gap in voter participation among our younger generations, a gap we aim to bridge through education and engagement."
Local Impact
Low voter turnout among Millennials and Gen Z in Charlotte County means our voices aren’t shaping the future. With only 1,648 out of 8,886 registered young adults voting in 2022, important issues like affordable housing get ignored. It’s time to step up and make sure our needs are met!
National Impact
When young people don’t vote, our key issues stay in the shadows. Across the country, Millennials and Gen Z can drive change on big topics like housing, climate, and social justice. By voting, we can set a trend and push these critical issues to the top of the national agenda.
