Voting Guide 2020: Issues That Matter to Seniors

Older Americans are widely considered the backbone of American elections.

According to U.S. Census Bureau data, nearly 71 percent of voters age 65 and older cast a ballot in the 2016 presidential election, compared to just 46 percent of younger voters age 18 to 29.


When the number of voting-eligible citizens increased by nearly 9 million people between 2012 and 2016, almost 6 million of them — about two-thirds — were over 65.

In short: Seniors turn out to vote.
