## Resource

American teens are voting less because they’re driving less, shrinking the traditional DMV registration pipeline and leaving millions of eligible voters unregistered. Civic groups are stepping in with creative, school-based drives—like those led by the League of Women Voters and The Civics Center—to make registration easier and build lifelong voting habits. A proposed bill, the SAVE America Act, threatens to make third-party registration harder by demanding strict citizenship proof, sparking debate over voter access. In New Hampshire, targeted high school campaigns have already boosted 18-year-old turnout—even amid legal challenges—proving that focused outreach can make a real difference.
