Some 17-year-olds May Register to Vote in the 2006 Primary Election Beginning Friday

 

Friday, January 13th is the first day that 17-year-olds who will turn 18-years-old on or before the date of the General Election may register to vote in the June 13th Primary Election.

Individuals who reach the age of 18 on or before November 7th, 2006 (General Election), and who are otherwise qualified to register to vote, may register with their county voter registration office beginning Friday, January 13th, 2006 and be eligible to vote in the June 13th Primary Election.

State law allows for this practice since the Primary Election is the nominating process for the General Election, making each, in effect, parts of the same election.
