Teenagers choosing candidates
The youth vote refers to the collective voting power of young people, typically those under 30 or under 25 depending on context.
Politicians and campaigns court the youth vote because young voters can swing elections when they turn out: The candidate's social media presence was designed to capture the youth vote.
