dc.description.abstractAge-based voting eligibility in Mexicos 2018 general election shows that the just-eligible score higher on several measures of low-cost political engagement compared to the just-ineligible. Exposure to information that the youth vote will be pivotal in the election increases eligible respondents interest in the presidential debate and in the election result.
