You Have the Right to Vote at 18. Use It to Shape the Future

The 26th Amendment gave 18-year-olds the right to vote. Now it’s your turn to make history.

Even a small voice can change the world.

Voting isn’t just a civic duty — it’s power. At 18, you’re not just an adult. You’re a force that can shape laws, influence leaders, and decide the direction of your community and country. Still, youth turnout remains low. It’s time to change that.

“The youth vote has the power to swing elections — if we show up.”

The 26th Amendment Gave You This Right

Ratified in 1971, the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that U.S. citizens 18 and older cannot be denied the right to vote because of age. Your voice matters. Use it.

Youth Voter Turnout: The Trend and the Challenge

In 2010, youth voter turnout (ages 18-24) was around 21%. In 2020, it increased to nearly 50%. That’s progress — but there’s still a long way to go. Imagine the impact if every eligible young person showed up at the polls. Include a simple chart or infographic showing turnout change from 2010 to 2024.

Show Your Support, Wear the Message

We’ve created limited-edition Teen Voice of Liberty t-shirts and pins to celebrate youth civic power. They’re not just merch — they’re a statement. Wear them to school, events, or on Election Day to remind others that your voice matters.
