The Bill, that would allow voter registration for 16 & 17 year olds passes the house unscathed.
Quick update here, last night, HB 2205 (16 and 17 year old advanced registration) passed the house without any of the unfriendly amendments we mentioned before. That means, thus far, Washington is on track to allow 16 and 17 year olds to register to vote ahead of time so when they turn 18 they're ready to vote.
So, what comes next? The Senate companion bill, SB 6128, still has one or two hoops to jump through before (hopefully) making it to a full vote.
Still we are HELLA EXCITED about this development. We're keeping close tabs and will give you all the good info as soon as it happens!
