Under current law, New York prohibits 17-year-olds from voting in primary elections, even if they will be eligible to vote in the general election later that year. As a result, thousands of young New Yorkers are excluded from the elections that determine which candidates appear on the November ballot. Twenty-one states and Washington, D.C. already allow 17-year-olds who will be eligible to vote in the general election to participate in primaries. “Young people are stepping up, organizing in their communities, and demanding a voice in our democracy,” said Assemblywoman Nily Rozic. “If you will be eligible to vote in November, you should be able to participate in primary elections that decide who even makes it onto the ballot. This legislation is about fairness and equity, giving young voters the opportunity to engage fully at every stage of the electoral process.
