Bill Summary
This bill provides that a person who is at least 16 years of age would be entitled to register to vote if that person is a citizen of the United States and a resident of this State who has met all the requirements as to length of residence to qualify as a legal voter. Each such registrant would be permitted to vote in an election held on or after his or her 18th birthday, provided that the registrant has not otherwise been disqualified from voting. Each registrant who has not attained 18 years of age would be designated in the Statewide voter registration system as temporarily ineligible to vote until the registrant's 18th birthday.
AI Summary
This bill allows individuals who are at least 16 years old to register to vote if they are U.S. citizens and meet the state's residency requirements to be a legal voter. While they can register early, they will only be permitted to cast a ballot in elections held on or after their 18th birthday, provided they haven't been disqualified for other reasons, and their voter registration status will be marked as temporarily ineligible until they turn 18.
