Bill > HR8341

This bill, the Youth Voting Rights Act, aims to expand youth access to voting. The key provisions include: 1. Establishing a private right of action for individuals 18 and older to challenge denials or abridgements of their right to vote on account of age, and setting a standard of review based on denying due process or equal protection under the 14th and 26th Amendments. 2. Requiring public institutions of higher education to be treated as voter registration agencies under the National Voter Registration Act, and establishing a process for pre-registration of 16-year-olds to vote in federal elections. 3. Mandating that each state provide on-campus polling places at public and private institutions of higher education, with a waiver process for certain campuses. 4. Prohibiting residency requirements that impede the right to vote in federal elections. 5. Requiring states to treat student IDs as valid voter identification. 6. Establishing a grant program to encourage youth involvement in election activities. 7. Directing the GAO to study voter registration, absentee voting, and provisional voting trends by age and race, and requiring the Election Assistance Commission to collect and publish state data on ballot application and rejection rates by age and race.
