Bill > SB963

This bill requires school districts and charter schools in Missouri to provide students who are 17½ years old with two opportunities each school year to register to vote. The first opportunity will be on the fourth Tuesday in September (or the next available school day), during school hours, where students can register to vote. The school district must coordinate with the local election authority to organize a second voter registration opportunity later in the year, which will be conducted by that local election authority. The secretary of state will prepare informational materials about voter registration to be distributed during these activities, and each school district and charter school must file a report with the state's department of elementary and secondary education by December 31st detailing their voter registration activities. This bill aims to increase voter registration and engagement among high school students who will soon be eligible to vote, by making the registration process more accessible and integrated into the school environment.
