Hyattsville, MD
Hyattsville followed the lead of its neighbor Takoma Park and lowered the voting age to 16 in 2015. A grassroots effort convinced the city council to vote for the change. Maryland’s legal structure made it relatively simple for Takoma Park and Hyattsville to lower the local voting age—the city councils only needed to vote in favor of a charter amendment and they could implement the change.
