Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Ms. Banka, we know that just because people have the right to vote, it doesn't mean they do. You said that 16- to 18-year-olds voted at fairly high rates.
Technically, 16-year-olds have to go to school, and the classroom is a good place to discuss and understand the issues in an election. Have you studied that or identified that correlation?
Does exposure to voting at an earlier age increase democratic resilience afterwards?
If students learn to ask the right questions in school, are they more likely to ask more questions as they get older?
