AI Summary
This bill establishes the Future Voter Program, which allows eligible high school students aged 16 or 17 to pre-register to vote. The program requires schools to hold voter registration events on "Constitution and Citizenship Day" and provides for the electronic collection of student voter registration information. The Secretary of the Commonwealth is tasked with maintaining a database of pre-registered students and coordinating with county commissions to facilitate the registration process. The bill also restricts the disclosure of personal information of pre-registered students until they reach 18 years of age.
