Youth Voter Turnout Was Highest in Minneapolis Precincts with More Student Election Judges
CIRCLE estimates of the average youth voter turnout (ages 18-24) in precincts, based on population demographics and the number of student poll workers in each precinct.
Notes: "More diverse" precincts are defined as those where 40% or more of the population is nonwhite.
We removed several precincts that are immediately adjacent to universities within the city and had a very large share of 18- to24-year-olds. Due to students possibly moving out of the neighborhood due to the COVID-19 pandemic and universities offering virtual instruction, we did not believe we could accurately estimate the residential population in those precincts at the time of the 2020 election.
