We talked to Erin Geiger Smith, author of ‘Thank You For Voting’ about what happens between now and the Inauguration in January 2025 — and some fun facts about voting! Like this one…
“You used to have to be older than 21 [to vote] but in 1971 there was a constitutional amendment that changed the voting age to 18, and that came after a lot of young people really pushed for that. At the time the United States was involved in wars, or had recently been involved, and young people really felt like they should have a voice in that.”
