Bill > S02272

This bill proposes to amend the New York State Constitution to lower the voting age from 18 years old to 16 years old. Specifically, the bill would change the language in the existing law from "eighteen years of age or over" to "sixteen years of age or over" as the requirement for a citizen to be eligible to vote in New York. The bill must be referred to the next regular legislative session and published for 3 months prior to the next general election of the state assembly before it can be voted on and potentially enacted.
