Relative to voting age requirements. Election Laws.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to remove the requirement that a person must be at least 18 years of age to vote. The existing law currently states that a person must be "eighteen years of age or older" to be eligible to vote, and this bill seeks to strike out that language, effectively eliminating the voting age requirement.
