There are *a lot* of voters who support #Vote16 for school board elections but not local, state, or federal elections.

[Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement (CDCE) @cdceumd]

#Vote16 for school board elections is popular with key New Jersey constituencies.

[Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement (CDCE) @cdceumd]

In May–June 2025, we worked with the Maryland Democracy Initiative to survey 800 NJ voters to understand support for lowering the voting age.
