Students Voicing Opinions in Today’s Elections (VOTE) Act

The Students Voicing Opinions in Today’s Elections (VOTE) Act would establish a pilot program to provide federal funding to local school districts for voter registration initiatives. Under this bill, school districts would work with election officials to provide 12th-grade students with the information and resources necessary to register to vote. The goal of the legislation is to increase civic engagement by ensuring that students reaching voting age are aware of the registration process before they graduate from high school.
