Bill > HB1475

This bill modifies Missouri's voter registration law to allow children born abroad to U.S. citizens and Missouri residents to register to vote in Missouri. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision (Section 5) to the existing voter registration statute that enables these children to register to vote through the election authority responsible for their parent's last Missouri address. The bill requires these children to follow the same general voter registration requirements as other Missouri residents, such as presenting proof of citizenship (like a birth certificate) when registering. However, the bill's implementation is contingent upon the passage of a separate constitutional amendment regarding voting rights for children born abroad, meaning the new provision will only take effect if voters approve that constitutional amendment. This change aims to extend voting rights to children of U.S. citizens who were born outside the United States but have a direct familial connection to the state of Missouri.
