Bill Summary
An Act establishing the Future Voters Program; providing for prevoter registration of eligible high school students; and imposing powers and duties on the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of State and each county commission.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Future Voters Program, which provides for the pre-voter registration of eligible high school students (ages 16 and 17) in Pennsylvania. The program requires schools to hold voter registration events on "Constitution and Citizenship Day" and allows eligible students to sign up to register to vote, even if they are not yet 18. The Secretary of Education and Secretary of State are tasked with implementing and overseeing the program, including distributing voter registration materials, maintaining a database of pre-registered voters, and ensuring the privacy of student information. The bill also specifies requirements for completing voter registration applications and removing students from pending status once they turn 18.
