Bill Summary
For legislation relative to youth voter engagement. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to amend the existing law to allow 17-year-olds who have pre-registered to vote in primary and preliminary elections, as long as they will be 18 years old by the time of the subsequent special or general election. The bill removes language that previously prohibited pre-registrants from voting until they reach the age of 18, unless otherwise permitted by law. This change is aimed at increasing youth voter engagement by allowing 17-year-olds to participate in the electoral process before they turn 18.
