Resumo(s)
This paper examines the impact of lowering the voting age to 16 on electoral outcomes and
campaign issues in the European elections in Austria (2009) and Germany (2024). A qualitative
analysis examined party communication in print media (2009) and on TikTok (2024). The FPÖ
and die Grünen in Austria and the AfD and BSW in Germany made significant gains among
first-time voters by clearly addressing issues relevant to young people and using channels
relevant to them. In contrast, parties that addressed these issues only superficially or not at all
were less successful among first-time voters.
