The momentum that followed the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas from the youngest of millennials was truly awe-inspiring. Many teens upset with the status quo have felt helpless considering many are barely old enough to drive a car, let alone cast a vote. Teens deserve to have their voices heard regarding the decisions made by politicians that will impact their futures. That includes voting, and for some high schoolers, that right is coming sooner than they might think.
If you are a 17 but will turn 18 on or before November 6, 2018, you can register to vote online to vote in the May 8, 2018 primaries for candidates. Teens that qualify have until April 9, 2018 to register.
