Bill > SCR128

This joint resolution declares the two-week period from Monday, April 13, 2026, to Friday, April 24, 2026, as "High School Voter Education Weeks," aiming to increase civic engagement and voter participation among young people, who historically have lower turnout rates. It strongly encourages local educational agencies, which are school districts or similar bodies, to use at least one of these weeks to educate students in grades 9 through 12 about the electoral process. This education should cover a wide range of topics, including the importance of youth voting, civil discourse, election security, voter registration, and understanding political systems, with the goal of revitalizing community involvement and promoting the significance of civic participation. The resolution also encourages these agencies to provide necessary digital and physical resources for this instruction and to consider partnering with experienced, nonpartisan nonprofit organizations to help deliver the educational content.
