Relates to the voting age
Senate Bill S 6921 proposes to lower the voting age in New York State. It directly affects citizens aged 16 and 17 by granting them the right to vote in all elections for officers and on all submitted questions. The bill achieves this by amending the state constitution, specifically changing the minimum voting age from 18 to 16 years old. This constitutional amendment process requires approval in subsequent legislative sessions and a public vote.
