In 2019, voter turnout among young Portuguese citizens in the European Parliament election was the lowest across the European Union. This article aims to identify youth mobilization strategies for the 2024 European elections. To this end, this article provides a descriptive typology that distinguishes between short- and medium/long-term mobilization strategies. This typology was tested in three focus groups, totalizing twenty-one young Portuguese citizens. The results indicate a convergence in support for some mobilization strategies and a divergence regarding others. The article concludes with some recommendations aimed at promoting the participation of young Portuguese citizens in the upcoming European elections.
