Bill > H670

This bill aims to enable children's right to vote by making several amendments to the existing election laws in Massachusetts. Key provisions include: redefining "capacity to make voting decisions independently" to allow for guidance and support from caregivers, lowering the voter registration age from 3 years to 1 day, establishing non-partisan voter registration programs in birth centers, childcare centers, schools, and afterschool programs, and repealing the law that prohibits people under guardianship from voting. The bill seeks to increase youth voter participation and access to the democratic process.
