Individuals under the age of 18 authorization to vote at a primary election in certain circumstances

SF 3362 would allow individuals under 18 to vote in Minnesota primary elections if they meet all other voting requirements (U.S. citizenship, 20 days residency) and will turn 18 by the time of the general election. This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 201.014 to permit 17-year-olds to vote only for candidates being nominated in the primary, not for ballot questions or propositions. It directly affects eligible 17-year-olds participating in primaries where the general election occurs after their 18th birthday. The change modifies voting eligibility rules without altering general election voting age.
