RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO ALLOW INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ATTAINED THE AGE OF SIXTEEN TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION AS ELECTORS AND TO BE SO ADMITTED UPON ATTAINING THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN.

Summary

The joint resolution would change the state constitution so any citizen who is at least 16 can apply to become an elector and would be granted voting rights on their 18th birthday. It also permits 16‑ and 17‑year‑olds who have applied and will be 18 by a regular election to vote in that election’s primary. The goal is to expand youth participation in the electoral process.
