High School Voter Empowerment Act of 2024
The High School Voter Empowerment Act of 2024 requires public high schools to serve as voter registration agencies and conduct at least one voter registration drive each academic year. It targets eligible students enrolled in American Government or Economics classes who are 17 years old by April 10 and eligible to vote in federal elections. The bill establishes a grant program to reimburse schools for costs related to these drives, requiring schools to submit applications detailing expenses and registration activities. It also allows schools to use voting machines for student elections with election official support, under agreed terms.
