[EL] does any state track voter registration by age group?

[Nichols, Susan]

In NC a voter's date of birth may not be publicly released except under very limited circumstances. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 163-82.10B. The age of a voter (e.g., 56, 23, or 18) may be released.

It's my experience that raw lists from state election agencies have a good deal of missing or inaccurate data in the birth date field.  I could be wrong about this, but I also think I've come across states that do not publicly disclose birth date on their voter registration files (Michigan?).

If you have an in with any of the vendors that buy registration lists or if the state of interest makes the list available for low cost (some don't), I assume the birth date is part of what the state releases. No? I don't know if any state would accept a registration application with no birth date filled in. So, you'd have to run the data yourself....or maybe some states have their own voter registration analysis by age, or could be prodded to do one (depending on how they are set up, it should be simple for them to do it...but you'd have to get their interest).

I hope someone knows if there is any state that keeps data on the number of registered voters by age group.
