How Preregistration Works

Register to Vote! logo Preregistration is an election procedure that allows individuals younger than 18 years of age to register to vote, so they are eligible to bandage a ballot when they accomplish 18, the voting age for all state and federal elections. Typically, a pre-registrant volition fill out an awarding and be added to the voter registration list with a "pending" or "preregistration" status. Upon turning eighteen, the individual is added to the voter registration listing and able to bandage a ballot.

Preregistration states vary in terms of their registration age limits. Some allow 16-twelvemonth-olds to preregister, and others let 17-year-olds to preregister. The remaining preregistration states do non constitute a specific preregistration age limit. Instead, these states allow youth to register to vote before the age of xviii, provided that they volition be of voting age by the time of the next general ballot. Come across the section on Voter Registration Ages below for more than data.

Some states too permit 17-twelvemonth-olds to vote in primary elections, provided that they volition plow 18 earlier the general election. FairVote provides information on states that let 17-year-olds to vote in congressional primaries and presidential primaries or caucuses.

State Voter Registration Ages

xv states + Washington, D.C., allow preregistration beginning at 16 years old:
- California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
four states allow preregistration beginning at 17 years onetime:
- Maine, Nevada, New Bailiwick of jersey and Due west Virginia.
v states ready another age at which an individual may preregister:
- Alaska permits those under 18 to register someday within xc days earlier their 18^th altogether.
- Georgia, Iowa and Missouri permit registration of those who are 17.5 (if they turn 18 before the next election).
- Texas permits a person who is 17 years and 10 months of historic period to annals.
25 states do non specifically address an age for registration and instead allow an individual to register if they volition turn 18 past the next election (annotation that this usually refers to the next general election, with some exceptions). In some states this may mean that youth could register as soon as the previous general election is over, so that could exist as early every bit sixteen years of age. Reach out to your state election officials for details.
- Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Due south Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
N Dakota does not crave individuals to annals prior to the ballot, just to qualify every bit an elector an individual must be eighteen years or older on Election Twenty-four hours.

Legislative Considerations

Turnout. The argument for implementing preregistration policies has to do with increasing youth turnout. Turnout amongst 18 to 29-yr-olds is consistently lower than other age brackets, and then states looking to preregistration as 1 choice to engage young voters in the electoral process. A serial of studies have shown the preregistration has a positive upshot on youth turnout:
Logistics. Since preregistered youth may move between preregistration and their beginning chance to vote, these registrations may no longer exist accurate and valid. States may need to send notifications to preregistered voters once they turn 18 to confirm the registration and address information. There may too need to be updates or additions to the statewide voter registration database in order to enter preregistrations and track this information.
Price. Costs may be a factor; implementation in Colorado was estimated at $572,112 in 2013. Additionally, the cost of returned mailings to this mobile population can be meaning.
Identification. Younger voters may non take a driver'southward license, so what identification is required in guild to preregister? Is an affirmation signed past a parent sufficient?
Location. Where should preregistration take place? Does the state need to piece of work with the department of motor vehicles or with high schools?
Protected information. Consider whether data for preregistered voters should be protected and not provided on publicly bachelor voter lists.
Pedagogy and outreach. How do become the word out that this pick is available and reach out to potential young voters?
