Empowering
Driving Change Through Youth Voting Rights
At Vote16USA, we are proud to be at the forefront of the movement to lower the voting age to 16. Our campaign has achieved significant milestones and continues to make progress in empowering young voices in the political process.
Join the Movement for Youth Voting Rights
At Vote16USA, our main objectives are to educate the public about the benefits of lowering the voting age to 16, mobilize young voters to make their voices heard, and advocate for legislative change. We believe that young people deserve a say in the decisions that affect their lives, and by empowering them to vote, we can create a more inclusive and representative democracy.
Here's what we do:
Educate the Public
We provide resources and information to raise awareness about the importance of youth voting rights.
Mobilize Young Voters
We engage and empower young people to exercise their right to vote.
Advocate for Change
We work to change legislation and policies to lower the voting age to 16.

Allowing 16 & 17 year olds to vote empowers a generation that is already actively shaping our communities and futures. Their voices deserve to be heard at the ballot box, reflecting their commitment to the issues that will impact their lives for years to come.
“Lowering the voting age is the next big thing in our democracy. This is a movement that is strong & vibrant up and down the country, in every corner of the country.” - @ItsLaJuan, Director of Vote16USA.
