I mean it's a literal fact that most of the structural barriers to voting have to do with not being "settled down" - you're much less likely to vote if you've moved recently and have had to update your registration, and many young people do this several times in quick succession

But it's also just that you're more likely to vote the more stuff you have to vote for and it's the people who plan to live in a place long term who really care about all the stuff on the ballot

I think a lot of it is pretty bland, lifestyle reasons, and things that are cumulative. You get in the habit of voting, if you live in the same place for a while, your registration is current, you're more likely to be home on election day(s).

You're more likely to be familiar with the candidates because more of their careers are within your adult memory. Your views are more certain. Your schedule is more predictable. You've been to the polling place more.
