Given that many are under 18, and even those of age skew younger than the general population, I think it's fair to say a clear majority don't vote.

Probably pretty similar to the political makeup of this forum.

Given that many are under 18, and even those of age skew younger than the general population, I think it's fair to say a clear majority don't vote.

Maybe like 20 years ago.

Presidential results, which are the biggest deal elections, are usually in the 50%-60% for turnout. Even there the numbers skew older. While there are plenty of people in their 20s and 30s who play games, there are not many 50+ gamers relative to their population. There is no way a majority of gamers vote, and certainly nothing like this forum, where people are obsessed with politics and vote every chance they get.
