This visualization was created with Tableau and uses data from the 2024 CPS voter supplement which is conducted by the Census Bureau. The [interactive version](https://overflowdata.com/liberty/breaking-down-voter-turnout-in-the-2024-presidential-election/) shows other traits. If you think we missed something let us know and we can look into adding it.
I wonder how many of the 85+ group didn’t vote due to mental decline. My grandpa died at 99 years of age this year and he didn’t vote mostly because he had severe dementia and had no idea where he was or even what year it is.
I wish we had the percentage of the population in each age group.
biggest story here it’s that the gap between 18-24 (48%) and 75-84 (76%) is massive, while 35-64 barely moves (all 65-70%). so elections swing on whether young ppl show up or not.
What is the total number from each category that voted, instead of percentage?
Young people continue to protest against the wrong party and then stay home and not vote.
Is there any data around potential voters who were disenfranchised due to the 100s of voting suppression laws that were passed by GOP controlled state houses in states throughout the union?
It’s easy to assume people just didn’t show up, but I wonder how many tried to and were blocked at one or more points throughout the process to register and then actually vote.
There’s two reactions people have to this:
1. Political parties need to do more to reach out to young people
2. Young people need to vote regardless
Obviously both are true, but as far as where you place the emphasis, I guess it depends which group you think is more in control of its collective actions – a political party that has money and organization and can operate as more or less a unit, or „every young person.“
Ngl, I thought the youth vote was lower. I know in off elections the under 30 vote % in red states would freeze water. In Texas, it was 25% in 2022.
Pathetic numbers. There’s no good reason a country like the USA shouldn’t be near 90% turnout.
Every bar is 10 years but the 18-24. Shouldn’t it be 18-28?
and the young people will feel the results of the 2024 election the rest of their lives.
i love whenever these sort of posts happen because the political geniuses of Reddit go “oh! we need to appeal to the youth vote!” and it’s like hey man congrats you’re about 20 years late
Young people don’t show up. It’s a failure of the adults in their lives to help them connect the dots between voting and their quality of life.
Another day, another visualization that my colorblindness can’t tell which category is which (voted vs no response, in this case)
I think many young people don’t vote because they are idealistic and can’t find a candidate that they align with on almost every issue. As you age, you gain the wisdom that aligning with a candidate almost completely never happens. You realize that you just need to vote and sometimes that means holding your nose and voting for the lesser evil (in your opinion).
Republicans specifically don’t want to make Election Day a national holiday because they know that it being a regular working Tuesday depresses the vote of working-age people compared to senior citizens.
Election day needs to be a day where we shut down the country completely. No business activity at all. Give everyone a chance to vote if they want to.
Would be nice to see this data with the relative sizes of each age group
It’s a good reminder. If you are GenZ and don’t want dementia grandma or grandpa deciding your future, vote!
