AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Election Law to allow individuals who are at least 16 years old but less than 17.5 years old to preregister to vote. The requirements for preregistration include being issued a driver's license or state ID card and being a U.S. citizen. The individual becomes a registered voter at 17.5 years old and is eligible to vote in their first election after turning 18. The Secretary of State is responsible for processing the preregistration applications and notifying the appropriate local clerk to send the preregistered individual a voter ID card when they turn 17.5.
