PROVE Act

This bill would require every state to let residents apply to register to vote in federal elections once they turn 16. If an applicant is under 18 but would otherwise be eligible, the state must make sure the person is registered for federal elections held on or after their 18th birthday. States could choose to offer this pre-registration to people younger than 16. The bill would also have the Election Assistance Commission give grants to states for plans to involve people under 18 in election activities, including promoting pre-registration and changing high school curriculum, and it authorizes $25 million for these grants.
