OPINION REFERRED TO JUDICIARY
Summary
The proposal changes the state constitution so that any citizen who is at least sixteen years old and has lived in New York and their county, city, or village for 30 days before an election may vote. It also requires the amendment to be published three months before the next election and referred to the next regular legislative session after the upcoming general election. This would expand voting rights to younger residents.
