According to the Pew Research Center, Gen Z voters made up 8% of the electorate during the 2020 Presidential Election, while Millennials and Gen Xers made up 47%. Baby Boomers and members of the Silent Generation made up less than half of the electorate in 2020 (44%), falling below the 52% they constituted in both 2016 and 2018.
Election Day is Nov. 8 and polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The last day to register to vote in Pennsylvania is Oct. 24.
