Bill > S1218

This bill, designated as the "New Voter Empowerment Act," permits any registered voter who is 17 years of age prior to the date of a primary election for the general election to vote in that primary election if the registered voter attains 18 years of age on or before the day of the next succeeding general election. The bill amends the existing law to allow 17-year-olds who will turn 18 by the time of the general election to participate in the primary election, which is a change from the previous requirement of being 18 years old to vote in any election.
