View Comments Just months after enacting a historic early voting law, New Jersey Democrats are pressing ahead with another expansion to voting rights   this time allowing 17-year-olds to cast ballots in primary elections. A panel of lawmakers on Wednesday advanced a bill, A2763, that would let 17-year-olds vote in June primary elections starting in 2022 if they will turn 18 on or before the November general election next year. New Jersey law currently allows 17-year-olds to register to vote, but they cannot cast ballots until their 18th birthday. State lawmakers are hoping the bill is the next step in their bid to go in the opposite direction of states like Georgia, Iowa and Florida, which have made elections more restrictive following the derisive 2020 presidential contest and Donald Trump s false claims of election fraud.
