In 1971, the 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18. This amendment came about during a time of social and political upheaval, with many young people demanding a voice in the democratic process. The amendment aimed to give young Americans the right to vote, including high school students.
In 1993, the National Voter Registration Act, also known as the Motor Voter Act, was signed into law. This act aimed to make voter registration more accessible to all Americans, including high school students. The act required states to offer voter registration opportunities at various government offices, such as departments of motor vehicles and public assistance agencies, making it easier for young people to register to vote.
In 2002, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was enacted with the goal of improving the voting process. HAVA provided funding to states to help them modernize their voting systems and encouraged the use of electronic voter registration. This act further expanded the opportunities for high school students to register to vote, as many states began implementing online voter registration systems.
In 2004, High School Voter Registration Week was established to promote voter registration among high school students. This week-long initiative aimed to raise awareness about the importance of civic engagement and encourage young Americans to exercise their right to vote. During this week, schools across the country organize registration drives and provide educational resources to help students understand the voting process.
In recent years, there has been an increased focus on high school voter registration. Organizations and advocacy groups have actively worked to engage students in the democratic process by providing resources, conducting workshops, and organizing voter registration drives specifically targeted at high school students. This focus aims to empower the youth and ensure that their voices are heard in shaping the future of the nation.
