PROMPT
The 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections stimulated interest among young adults in the American
political system. However, previous election cycles (since the 1970s) often reveal a lack of interest in
citizenship and lower voter turnout among adults under 30 years of age, especially when compared to
older adults (over 65). Moreover, some Americans have predicted it could decline again in future
elections (as it did in 2014).
