An Act granting the town of Acton the authority to provide legal voting rights in municipal elections for town residents aged 16 and 17 years old
This bill allows Acton residents aged 16-17 to vote in local elections, including town meetings and ballot questions, despite being ineligible under state law due to age. It creates a separate voter registration list managed by the town clerk, requiring a special form for 16-17 year olds. Once they turn 18, they are removed from this list and must register as regular voters. The bill explicitly states these voters cannot participate in state or federal elections or ballots.
