How Preregistration Works

Register to Vote! logo Preregistration is an election procedure that allows individuals younger than 18 years of age to register to vote, so they are eligible to cast a ballot when they reach 18, the voting age for all state and federal elections. Typically, a pre-registrant will fill out an application and be added to the voter registration list with a "pending" or "preregistration" status. Upon turning 18, the individual is added to the voter registration list and able to cast a ballot.

Preregistration states vary in terms of their registration age limits. Some allow 16-year-olds to preregister, and others allow 17-year-olds to preregister. The remaining preregistration states do not establish a specific preregistration age limit. Instead, these states allow youth to register to vote before the age of 18, provided that they will be of voting age by the time of the next general election. See the section on Voter Registration Ages below for more information.

Some states also permit 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections, provided that they will turn 18 before the general election. FairVote provides information on states that permit 17-year-olds to vote in congressional primaries and presidential primaries or caucuses.

State Voter Registration Ages

15 states + Washington, D.C., permit preregistration beginning at 16 years old:
- California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
4 states permit preregistration beginning at 17 years old:
- Maine, Nevada, New Jersey and West Virginia.
5 states set another age at which an individual may preregister:
- Alaska permits those under 18 to register anytime within 90 days before their 18^th birthday.
- Georgia, Iowa and Missouri permit registration of those who are 17.5 (if they turn 18 before the next election).
- Texas permits a person who is 17 years and 10 months of age to register.
25 states do not specifically address an age for registration and instead allow an individual to register if they will turn 18 by the next election (note that this usually refers to the next general election, with some exceptions). In some states this may mean that youth could register as soon as the previous general election is over, so that could be as early as 16 years of age. Reach out to your state election officials for details.
- Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
North Dakota does not require individuals to register prior to the election, but to qualify as an elector an individual must be eighteen years or older on Election Day.

More details in Table 1 below.

Legislative Considerations

Turnout. The argument for implementing preregistration policies has to do with increasing youth turnout. Turnout among 18 to 29-year-olds is consistently lower than other age brackets, so states looking to preregistration as one option to engage young voters in the electoral process. A series of studies have shown the preregistration has a positive effect on youth turnout:
Logistics. Since preregistered youth may move between preregistration and their first chance to vote, these registrations may no longer be accurate and valid. States may need to send notifications to preregistered voters once they turn 18 to confirm the registration and address information. There may also need to be updates or additions to the statewide voter registration database in order to enter preregistrations and track this information.
Cost. Costs may be a factor; implementation in Colorado was estimated at $572,112 in 2013. Additionally, the cost of returned mailings to this mobile population can be significant.
Identification. Younger voters may not have a driver's license, so what identification is required in order to preregister? Is an affidavit signed by a parent sufficient?
Location. Where should preregistration take place? Does the state need to work with the department of motor vehicles or with high schools?
Protected information. Consider whether information for preregistered voters should be protected and not provided on publicly available voter lists.
Education and outreach. How do get the word out that this option is available and reach out to potential young voters?
