Culver City, California, is considering Measure YV, which would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in local elections. As of November 4, 2026, 55% of voters oppose the measure, with only 45% in favor, based on 12,348 ballots counted out of 29,169 registered voters. Proponents argue that young people contribute to the community and deserve a voice, while opponents claim it could lead to exploitation and inappropriate influence over property tax decisions. The city council initially supported the measure, but it appears likely to be rejected. This initiative is part of a broader trend to enfranchise younger voters, though similar measures have faced criticism elsewhere.
