More Idahoans under 30 have registered to vote in the past month than any other age group

More Idahoans under the age of 30 have registered to vote in the past month than any other age group, according to data from the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office.

Between Sept. 3 and Oct. 3, over 25,000 people registered to vote in the state, with nearly 38%, or around 9,400 people, between ages 18-29. This continues a trend observed in recent months.

When President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race on July 21, within two days, about 1,200 Idahoans had registered, and almost half of them — 518 — were under age 30.

Similarly, after Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Sept. 10, 3,440 Idahoans registered within two days. Many of these new voters, or 45% of them, were also under 30.
