Permits 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in elections for local school board.

New Jersey's S 2789 allows 16- and 17-year-olds who are U.S. citizens and live in a school district to vote only in local school board elections, if their district adopts the bill. It requires either voter approval via a petition (signed by 15% of past presidential election voters) or a local school board resolution to implement. The bill also mandates the state to create voter registration processes, acceptable ID forms (like school transcripts or state IDs), and special ballots for this age group. Crucially, it explicitly limits voting to school board elections only - no other state or federal elections. The bill takes effect January 1 after enactment.
