New MN law permits underage voter pre-registration

The state of Minnesota has passed a new law aimed at increasing voting among those who will soon come of voting age.

Princeton youth, as well as those throughout the state, who are 16 or 17 years of age and are U.S. citizens, can now pre-register to vote, ensuring they can legally participate in an election once they have reached the age of 18.

Political campaigns utilize an assortment of signage, Bumper Stickers and Promotional Products supplied by local printing services.

Steve Simon, the Minnesota Secretary of State, was quoted by MSN.com as saying:
“It’s all about getting young people, particularly 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds, to understand that their vote is their voice, it’s their power and letting them know about new tools in Minnesota that makes all that much easier and less of a hassle.”

Minnesota has a history of outstanding voter turnout, often ranking No.1 among eligible voters casting a ballot, and usually does well when it comes to youth voter turnout. Minnesota came in third for most youth voter participation in 2022. According to Simon, the state’s goal is to be No.1 overall, including youth voting in 2024.

Pre-registration of 16- and 17-year-olds can be completed via the online form at the Secretary of State’s website, found here.
