100% Youth Voter Pre-Registration Now
FairVote Action
Voter pre-registration for Colorado youth is common sense. Our democracy needs the young people of America to stay engaged and informed. Support HB1135: stand for nothing less than 100% youth voter pre-registration.
Why is this important?
Each year, thousands of Colorado youth leave the locker-lined halls of high school, diploma in hand. But they'll be missing something important: a voter registration card and information on how to vote.
The Millennial Generation is unique; with the brush of a touchscreen, young Americans are more plugged-in, informed, engaged and involved than ever before. Voter pre-registration engages them with our democracy, encouraging these informed voices to participate.
Hawaii, North Carolina, Florida and Maryland are among a growing number of states that allow any future eligible voter to pre-register to vote at age 16. At 18, these pre-registered voters are added to the voter rolls.
Voter pre-registration has little-to-no fiscal impact and no particular burden on election officials, but boosts voter registration rates and participation.
In Colorado, HB1135 has been introduced to implement voter pre-registration. It needs your support!
