Sure they will. It gives the opportunity for educators to getting youth interested while an election is on that they can actually participate in, rather than graduating and instantly forgetting the stuff you talked about in class but could never do. I remember not caring at all because I couldn't vote, so why would I care about candidates? I can't see an argument where this would reduce youth voter engagement from where we are now.
