We've said it all year: hotties vote 🔥

[NextGen America 🗳 @NextGenAmerica]

We'll be back tomorrow with more substantive updates about our campuses and election turnout there, but it's clear that young people want a change — and we're here to be a part of that.

[NextGen America 🗳 @NextGenAmerica]

One thing is clear, young people showed up across the board. They are tired of empty promises and ready for change.

And throughout the day, young people told us what motivated them to vote.

CORRECTION: An error with our source data misattributed some early votes to 10/30. Regardless, at ~507k early votes, 10/30 remains the biggest youth early voting day (so far!) in the past 3 midterm elections.

Our data team has been crunching some numbers on how young voters (18-29 year olds) are showing up in the 2026 Midterm elections so far and we’re excited to share 🧵
*Counts from state election offices via TargetSmart and National Voter File CoOp through 10/30.

[NextGen America 🗳 @NextGenAmerica]

1.26 million young people voted early on 10/30 – the *biggest single day* of midterm early voting across any of the three years (2026, 2022, 2018).
