Evidence from Germany does reducing the voting age to 16 lead to higher turnout at elections?

Allowing those aged 16 and 17 to vote in elections can increase political engagement among young people. But do these effects persist over time? Drawing on new research, Jan Eichhorn and Christine Huebner illustrate that German states with a voting age of 16 also appear to have higher turnout increases among voters in their late teens and throughout their 20s.
