Relating to the eligibility of certain persons younger than 18 years of age to preregister to vote.
This bill changes Texas law to allow 17-year-olds to preregister to vote, removing the current requirement that they must be 17 years and 10 months old. It directly affects Texas residents aged 17 who wish to preregister before turning 18, enabling them to prepare to vote in upcoming elections. The key change amends the Election Code to lower the minimum age for preregistration eligibility from 17 years 10 months to exactly 17 years. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter the actual voting age of 18.
