I don't know if any studies show this to be the case (have 16 year olds been franchised anywhere long enough to do long-term studies yet?) but I imagine that being granted the right to express themselves politically when they're still learning about the importance of civics, it will lead to lifelong higher turnout rather than if voting is just yet another thing people are allowed to do when they turn 18
