The two correct assumptions a writer can make about the audience for this essay are:

  1. They are mostly adults.
  2. They have a range of opinions about voting.

These assumptions are reasonable since the essay discusses the importance of registering to vote, likely targeting those who are about to turn 18 or those who have an interest in the topic, which can include both younger audiences approaching voting age and older audiences who can influence or encourage them.
