OHIO: Gen Z Voter Registrations Surge (Under Age 30)
Daily Kos, June 28, 2024. SEE GRAPH at Link
The Ohio Secretary of State website publishes an updated statewide voter file every Saturday.
Comparing yesterdays file, which includes data on new registrations for the previous week since VP Harris became the presumptive nominee, to the new registrations in the week before Pres. Bidens announcement, shows large increases for voters under about age 30 (per chart above).
Overall including all ages, 21,838 voters registered this week vs. 18,343 the previous week, an increase of 19%. So that's an indication of increased interest generally.
56% of this week's new OH registrations were female, compared to 48% of last week's.
The situation is similar to what happened wrt registrations immediately following the Dobbs decision in June 2022, which clearly turned out well for Ohios Reproductive Freedom Amendment passed last November by a wide margin. ---
