For most adults, the election buzz is long over. But for teenagers in a few East Bay cities, the life-long thrill of voting has just begun. In Albany, 16 and 17 year olds voted in public elections for the first time, following a growing movement to expand youth’s right to vote in local elections. Today, The Bay follows a group of trailblazing teenagers who rallied to get out the vote among their peers, and are now reflecting on their new role in democracy.
