(34,465 posts)However, getting their voter registration updated is easy to forget. The son and his wife who had moved could have easily been #3. I'm a deputy voter registrar and one thing we do is ask if voters need to update their voter registration information.
None of my kids (ages 24-30) voted for Trump.
2 that voted in previously sat out the election
3 voted for Hillary
2 would have been disqualified if their voter registration had not been updated.
Although my family might seem anecdotal, my hunch is this is fairly common among that age group. Through a bit of prodding, we did get two young adults to update their address, which I believe is anecdotal. Without the prodding they would not updated their voter registration. They would have gone to the polls and been turned away.
