An Act lowering the voting age in municipal elections in the town of Arlington
This bill allows 16- and 17-year-old Arlington residents who are otherwise eligible to vote to register for local elections. It requires the town clerk to create a separate voter list for these "local voters," who can then participate in municipal elections, town meetings, and local ballot questions. Once they turn 18, they are automatically removed from this list and must register as regular voters under state law. The bill explicitly states that these voters cannot participate in state or federal elections or ballot questions.
