Youth Turnout in the 2016 Primaries Exceeded 2008 Participation in Several States

CIRCLE estimates for youth turnout, number of voters/caucusgoers, and youth vote share across both parties' 2016 presidential primaries.

Data is for young people ages 18-29 except in Vermont and Virginia, where 17-year-olds could vote in the primaries.

Super Tuesday contests were also held in Alaska, Colorado, and Minnesota but data from those states was not immediately available.
