I have a question about a possible Bernie voter

[sadoldgirl]

during the election.
My neighbor's son is turning 18 on November 1st.
Can he still register and vote in the GE?

1. I'd expect that it depends on the state nt

2. I believe you just need to be 18 by election day

10. Hey Central

What's the vibe your way. I'm in RI but a big group went to Boston over the weekend and knocked on thousands of doors. How are things up your way?

5. Here's some info about preregistration:

Colorado—16 and 17-year-olds may preregister (CRS 1-2-101, enacted 2013)

Sounds like a "yes" to me!

6. Looks like Jan 4th is the cutoff to register for the democratic caucuses in CO.ï

7. Yes, he can

Doesn't matter what state he's in. The 26th Amendment to the Constitution, passed in 1971 says --

"The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."

9. Thank you guys so much. He can pre register here

from the info you gave me.

It is so important for me because he is a latino,
and I am more than happy when they want to vote!

Thanks again!

11. Kudos to your son

But to YOU as well. Our privilege to vote was fought for by many and you obviously instilled some great values in your son for him to take his vote so seriously at a young age. Great job and let's win Colorado!!
