Lowering the Vote Age
It’s time we lower the voting age to 16 to make our electoral system more inclusive and beneficial for all.
Youth Voting
Young people are the future of our democracy, and Common Cause is winning reforms that empower the next generation to take action.
From gun violence to climate change to the cost of college, young people are directly impacted by today’s public policy decisions. Common Cause fights to ensure that they have a meaningful say in our democracy by lowering the voting age to 16, bringing on democracy fellows who engage their college campuses in pro-democracy work, and leading other youth voting efforts.
