Here’s a question for you:
do you know which Constitutional amendment got ratified the fastest?

No need to go to Wikipedia or crack open a textbook: it was the 26th
Amendment, which said that Americans aged 18 or older couldn’t be denied
the right to vote based on their age.

That was ratified in 1971. But even now, more than 50 years later, young
Americans who are eligible to vote still face too many barriers on their
way to the ballot box.

Their provisional ballots get rejected at high rates. They don’t have
accessible enough polling places. They’re up against restrictive residency
and voter ID requirements. They even face age-based restrictions on access
to vote-by-mail.

And Republicans in state legislatures across this country remain hellbent
on passing voter suppression laws that silence youth voices and make it
harder for them to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

So I just reintroduced a bill alongside Representative Nikema Williams —
the Youth Voting Rights Act of 2023. It’s a comprehensive piece of
legislation that would enforce the 26th Amendment, expand youth access to
voting, and make sure young people can have a say in their own future.

[ [link removed] ]To get this done, we need to show Washington that the American people
are demanding action. Will you add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of
our Youth Voting Rights Act, and help get this over the finish line?

Here’s some of what this legislation would accomplish:

* Allow young people in every state to pre-register to vote before they
turn 18, ensuring that they can cast their ballots as soon as they’re
eligible.
* Require an on-campus polling place at every institute of higher
education.
* Expand voter registration services at colleges and universities.
* Guarantee that people can use their student IDs to meet states’ voter
ID requirements in federal elections.
* Prohibit restrictive residency requirements for voting in federal
elections, and codify the right to vote from the place where you’re
attending college.
* Create a grant program for states to encourage youth involvement in
elections.
* Prevent states from placing age limits on no-excuse vote-by-mail
ballots.
* Allow individuals to sue if their 26th Amendment rights have been
violated.

Voting is the beating heart of our democracy, and young people shouldn’t
be left out of our democratic process.

By passing the Youth Voting Rights Act, and by working to root out every
voter suppression law that’s been enacted around the country, we can
defend our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]But it’s going to take a grassroots movement. Add your name to say
you’re in this fight all the way.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
