Youth voting surged by 11 percentage points in 2004.In presidential election years between 1972 and 2000,
the turnout rate had declined by 16 percentage points
among young citizens before rebounding by 11 percentage
points in the 2004 election. It remains to be seen if the
increase in youth turnout in 2004 is part of a new trend
or is instead a spike in youth electoral participation like
the 1992 election.
In 2004 47% of 18-24 year old citizens voted, 66% of
citizens 25 and older voted.
