MI HB4337

Allows persons who preregister to vote at age 16 to become registered electors at age 17½ and become eligible to vote at the first election after turning 18.

Requires the Secretary of State to immediately transmit preregistration applications to the appropriate city or township clerk and to the qualified voter file upon receipt.

Preregistration applications must be held in a separate file and not moved to the master file until the applicant reaches 17½ years of age.

Preregistered voters' names shall not appear on precinct voter lists before they turn 18 years old.

When a preregistered voter reaches 17½, the Secretary of State must notify the appropriate clerk to send a voter identification card and add the person to the master file; address changes on driver licenses or identification cards are automatically reflected in preregistration records.
