The number of young voters who have registered since 2016 has tripled in Connecticut compared to four years ago — a sign of how deep the interest has reached in this year’s midterm elections.
More than 43,000 18-to-25-year-olds have registered to vote in Connecticut since Donald Trump was elected president — a 210 percent increase over the same 20-month period after the 2012 general election, according to the state Board of Elections.
