Seems like a decent idea. I have a pet theory that it’s not strictly that young people don’t vote, but that there is a relatively constant duration people who suddenly can vote take to learn that that is important. Kids, who can’t vote, don’t bother to think about it. And new voters tend to focus solely on the Presidential election. I think it takes roughly 8 years (two presidential elections) for people to learn that not voting has consequences. If we started kids voting earlier, we may find that they become regular voters earlier as well.
