An Act granting the city of Boston the authority to endow legal voting rights in municipal elections for city of Boston residents aged 16 and 17 years old

This bill grants the city of Boston the authority to allow residents aged 16 and 17 to vote in local municipal elections, such as those for city council members and local ballot questions. Under the law, eligible young residents would register on a special list and use a separate registration form to cast ballots in these specific local contests. The legislation clarifies that these 16- and 17-year-olds cannot vote for state or federal offices or on statewide ballot questions, and they must transition to standard state voter registration once they turn 18. Implementation of this program would be managed by the city's board of election commissioners through new regulations and forms created at the city's expense.
