An Act ensuring municipal participation of the widest eligible range

This bill allows citizens aged 16 or 17 who are registered voters in their city or town to participate in local elections for town officers. It requires municipalities to voluntarily accept this new voting provision by amending existing election laws. If a town chooses to adopt the section, eligible young residents can cast ballots for local positions. The measure does not mandate participation from all cities and towns, leaving the decision to local governments.
