Posted by Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement on July 28, 2026
In a new report, the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) shares its latest Youth Electoral Significance Index, breaking down where the country’s youngest voters are the most likely to have a major influence in 2026 congressional and gubernatorial elections.
Young voters are a large and powerful segment of the electorate that can have a major impact on the 2026 midterms. Close to 50 million youth, ages 18-29, are eligible to cast ballots, including more than 8 million newly eligible voters since the 2024 election. These young people can cast critical swing votes and shape electoral outcomes in races across the country.
