Permits voter registration at age 16, under certain conditions.

New Jersey S321 amends voter registration laws to allow individuals who are at least 16 years old to register to vote if they are U.S. citizens and meet residency requirements. These registrants can vote in elections held after their 18th birthday, provided they have identification when voting for the first time. The bill also specifies that certain individuals, such as those voting by absentee ballot or in person, are exempt from the identification requirement.
