Allows children of U.S. citizens and Missouri residents born abroad to register to vote in Missouri
HB 1475 would amend Missouri's voting registration rules to allow children born outside the U.S. to U.S. citizen parents who are Missouri residents and eligible to vote in Missouri to register to vote in the state. Specifically, it would permit these children to register using their parent's last Missouri address as their voting jurisdiction, rather than requiring them to meet standard residency or birthplace criteria. However, the bill states it would only take effect after Missouri voters approve a constitutional amendment addressing this issue. This change would directly affect Missouri-resident children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents who are currently barred from registering to vote under current law.
