Less than 1% of Maine 17-year-olds are Pre-registered to Vote

Youth ages 18-29 make up only 15% of the Maine population. In the 2018 election, voter turnout amongst 18-29 year-olds in the state was 36.4%, slightly above the 31% national average.  Despite the expansion in legislation and youth turnout, every county in Maine has a pre-registration rate lower than 3%.
