House of Commons votes on the Right to Vote at 16 Act tomorrow - contact your MP #Vote16

Improving voter turnout/voting habits for life + giving young people a say about the future they'll inherit... seems like a good reason to come out of Twitter hiding

[dave meslin, KC @meslin]

We're down to the FINAL 24 HOURS of advocacy! #Vote16 is a no-brainer and it's being adopted by more and more countries, each year. We have strong endorsements from Liberal, NDP, Green + Bloc MPs!

Please take a moment and see if YOUR MP is on board:

"In critical battleground states...#youth votes may have made the difference for Democrats. In Georgia, ~21% of votes came from young ppl who supported Biden over Trump by 18%. Young Black #voters supported Biden by a particularly wide margin in Georgia 90% and nationwide 86%."

[CIRCLE @CivicYouth]

YOUTH TURNOUT UPDATE: Our latest estimate, based on votes counted as of today, puts 2020 youth voter turnout at 50%-52%. That's 8 pts higher than our preliminary estimate for 2016. We project that, once all votes are counted, turnout could be 53%-56%. https://t.co/BkVQDVmfXJ
