Nashville teens have set a new record, with a nearly 85 percent increase in 17 and 18-year-old voters.

A public and private high school voter registration campaign brought the increase in new voter registrations.

This year, 2,865 students registered to vote. To be exact, there were 1,331 more registrants than last year.

The most students who registered to vote come from Hume-Fogg, McGavock High, MBA and Father Ryan Academy.
