Cook County launching efforts to register 17-year-old voters
By
Beginning Wednesday, most Illinois 17-year-olds will be eligible to register and vote in a primary election a first in our states history, Cook County Clerk David Orr said Monday.
The new suffrage at 17 law will let voters choose in the primary election which candidates will be nominated to represent political parties in the general election.
This expansion of voter registration will allow more young people to participate than ever before, Orr said. Suffrage at 17 will also get teenagers registered to vote before they leave high school, and studies show that establishing voting habits early boosts the likelihood of participation for years to come.
U.S. citizens who were born on or before Nov. 4, 1996 can register and vote in the March 18 primary because they will turn 18 in time for Novembers general election.
Heck, lets go all the way...allow parents to vote by proxy for all their "chilruns" from birth...
After all one man infant, one vote... should be the standard...
