Permits 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in elections for local school board.
This bill allows 16- and 17-year-old New Jersey residents who are U.S. citizens and live in a school district for at least 30 days to vote only in local school board elections. It requires the Secretary of State to create a registration process and ballot design mirroring existing voter systems for this age group. The bill specifically limits voting rights to school board elections - 16- and 17-year-olds cannot vote in state or federal elections. It does not require school boards or municipalities to take action to implement the change.
