Description

Don't see any teens in line at the Oregon DMV? Teens can drive at age 16, yet even by age 18, 14% of Oregon teens aren't licensed to drive, which can impact voter registration rates.

American teens are driving less than in previous decades, prompting civic advocates to warn that fewer young people may register to vote.
