VOTING/REGISTRATION: Provides for a study of allowing seventeen years olds to vote in state and local elections

This bill directs two legislative committees to conduct a study on whether seventeen-year-olds should be allowed to vote in state and local elections in Louisiana. The joint committee must gather information from various state agencies and community organizations and submit its findings to the legislature by March 15, 2025. While the current constitution sets the voting age at eighteen, this measure does not change the law but instead initiates a review of the issue, noting that some other states already permit seventeen-year-olds to vote in primary elections. The study will examine practical aspects such as updating election databases and ensuring election officials understand the process.
