From the Spokane, Washington-based Spokesman-Review:
Almost half the 5,180 Spokane County residents ages 18 to 25 who registered to vote in 2018 didn’t cast a ballot in the November general election, data from the county Elections Office analyzed by The Spokesman-Review shows. The areas with the greatest number of newly registered voters who didn’t vote were in precincts around the county’s two major college campuses, Gonzaga and Eastern Washington universities.
The percentage of newly registered residents who cast ballots increased gradually with age. Three out of 5 voted among 26- to 35-year-olds; nearly 2 out of 3 voted of those 36 to 45. For seniors over 65, more than 4 out of 5 who signed up in 2018 voted in the general election.
