Title: teen voting
Post by: Carolyn Branagan on February 25, 2012, 08:01:43 AM
Teens who will be 18 by election day Nov 6 can vote in the presidential primary on Town Meeting Day, March 6. They can also vote in the August 28 state primaries. This is allowed by the state constitutional amendment approved by 81% of Vermont voters two years ago, making us the 19th state to allow these young voters to participate in the primaries. They will not be able to vote in any other elections between now and when they turn18, but the change makes it possible for them to participate in the entire presidential election process, starting with the primary election. Last day for these kids (and everyone else) to register to vote at Town Meeting is February 29.   For more information contact me at cbranagan@leg.state.vt.us

I heard that the state was going to give illegal immigrants drivers licences and let them vote as well
