Gen Z At the Ballot Box G E N E R A T I O N Z cast 4.5 million votes, or 4 percent of the total number of votes, in the 2018 midterm elections — a sizable number given that it only counts those who turned 18 after 2014. Analysis of U.S. Census data by Pew Research Center in May found that 30 percent of Gen Zers ages 18-21 turned out in the first midterm election of their adult lives. In fact, the three younger generations — Gen X, millennials and Gen Z, or those ages 18-53 in 2018 — cast 62.2 million votes, compared with 60.1 million cast by baby boomers and older generations. According to the report, Gen Z's impact will likely be felt more in the 2020 presidential election, when they are projected to be 10 percent of eligible voters. For details, go to pewresearch.org.
