The 13% figure is for proportion of young (18–29 years old) voters among total voters that turned out to vote on election day. In other words, 13% of total voters that turned out were between 18–29 years in age. It does NOT mean that only 13% of registered young voters turned out to vote

Can confirm. Did a mail in ballot. Did not get sticker.

This hurts me...
i moved to a new city a couple of weeks ago and so many people were like I’m not voting. What the actual fuck?

Looking at this, 20-29 year olds are about ... 13.9% of the population.
Add a percentage or two for 18 and 19 year olds, I guess.
It seems to me that they are voting pretty proportionately to their overall numbers?
