While demographic changes unfold slowly, it’s already clear that the 2020 electorate will be unique in several ways:
- Nonwhites will account for a third of eligible voters – their largest share ever – driven by long-term increases among certain groups, especially Hispanics.
- At the same time, one-in-ten eligible voters will be members of Generation Z, the Americans who will be between the ages 18 and 23 next yea
- That will occur as Millennials and all other older generations account for a smaller share of eligible voters than they did in 2016.
