How Preregistration Works

Register to Vote! logoPreregistration is an ballot procedure that allows individuals younger than 18 years of age to annals to vote, and then they are eligible to cast a ballot when they attain 18, the voting age for all state and federal elections. Typically, a pre-registrant will fill up out an application and be added to the voter registration list with a "awaiting" or "preregistration" condition. Upon turning xviii, the private is added to the voter registration listing and able to cast a ballot.

Preregistration states vary in terms of their registration age limits. Some let 16-yr-olds to preregister, and others allow 17-yr-olds to preregister. The remaining preregistration states do not establish a specific preregistration age limit. Instead, these states allow youth to register to vote earlier the age of 18, provided that they will be of voting age past the time of the next general election. See the section on Voter Registration Ages below for more information.

Some states likewise permit 17-year-olds to vote in master elections, provided that they volition turn 18 earlier the general ballot. FairVote provides information on states that permit 17-year-olds to vote in congressional primaries and presidential primaries or caucuses.

Country Voter Registration Ages

  • 15 states + Washington, D.C., permit 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.
  • iv states permit preregistration beginning at 17 years former:
    • Maine, Nevada, New Jersey and Westward Virginia.
  • 5 states set some other age at which an individual may preregister:
    • Alaska permits those nether 18 to register anytime within 90 days before their 18th birthday.
    • Georgia, Iowa and Missouri let registration of those who are 17.5 (if they turn eighteen before the adjacent election).
    • Texas permits a person who is 17 years and x months of historic period to register.
  • 25 states do not specifically address an age for registration and instead allow an individual to register if they will plough 18 by the next ballot (note 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 on as 16 years of age. Reach out to your land ballot officials for details.
    • Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New United mexican states, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
  • Northward Dakota does not require individuals to register prior to the election, only to qualify as an elector an individual must be 18 years or older on Ballot Day.

More than details in Table i below.

Legislative Considerations

  • Turnout. The statement for implementing preregistration policies has to do with increasing youth turnout. Turnout amongst 18 to 29-twelvemonth-olds is consistently lower than other age brackets, so states looking to preregistration as ane 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 betwixt preregistration and their first chance to vote, these registrations may no longer exist accurate and valid. States may need to send notifications to preregistered voters once they turn eighteen to confirm the registration and address information. There may besides need to be updates or additions to the statewide voter registration database in order to enter preregistrations and track this information.
  • Cost. Costs may be a cistron; implementation in Colorado was estimated at $572,112 in 2013. Additionally, the cost of returned mailings to this mobile population can be pregnant.
  • Identification. Younger voters may non have a driver'south license, so what identification is required in order to preregister? Is an affidavit signed by a parent sufficient?
  • Location. Where should preregistration accept identify? Does the state need to piece of work with the department of motor vehicles or with loftier schools?
  • Protected information. Consider whether information for preregistered voters should be protected and not provided on publicly available voter lists.
  • Education and outreach. How do become the word out that this option is available and reach out to potential young voters?
