While some states are actively working to suppress voters, New Jersey continues to advocate for voter’s rights and expand access.

“Just months after enacting a historic early voting law, New Jersey Democrats are pressing ahead with another expansion to voting rights — this time allowing 17-year-olds to cast ballots in primary elections.

A panel of lawmakers on Wednesday advanced a bill, A2763, that would let 17-year-olds vote in June primary elections starting in 2022 if they will turn 18 on or before the November general election next year.”
