16-Year-Old Voter Bill Rolled Out

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

Sen. Mickey SWITALSKI (D-Roseville) wants to amend the state constitution so 16-year-olds can vote for school board members, a proposal he admits probably won't go very far very fast, but is worth a shot in recognition of the efforts of his younger constituents.
If adopted by two-thirds of the House and Senate, Michigan voters could give more high school students the right to vote in school board elections. They could not vote for ballot initiatives, statewide office, federal office or bond issues.
