Voter Registration Surges Ahead of 2024 Election

Voter registration has surged across various regions and demographics in anticipation of the 2024 elections. In Pennsylvania, there was a 41% increase in total registrations week-to-week after Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, with a significant rise in female and younger voters. Similarly, Western North Carolina saw a 30,355 increase in registered voters since the last presidential cycle, driven by population growth and pre-registration initiatives for teens. Despite these increases, early voting turnout in Guam's primary is down by 35% compared to 2022, with no clear indication of what this means for overall voter turnout. Vote.org has registered over 100,000 new voters since President Joe Biden's withdrawal, primarily among younger demographics, amidst ongoing Republican efforts to implement restrictive voting laws. Norfolk, Virginia, is also experiencing a rise in voter registrations, attributed to high interest in the upcoming elections and significant local races.
