You're joking, right? It says the state must process an application to register when the applicant is under the age of 18. That doesn't mean the applicant can actually vote before he turns 18.
"A State may not refuse to accept or process an individual’s application to register to vote in elections for Federal office on the grounds that the individual is under 18 years of age at the time the individual submits the application, so long as the individual is at least 16 years of age at such time. "
In some states people can already register by the age of 16. It appears like the bill is trying to set one standard of registration across the country, rather than the piecemeal system now in place.

You should be more forgiving of Tom. He's trying to armchair quarterback as a Brit monarchist living in a Third World Shithole where he can't even call his psycho King a psycho without ending up in prison.
I'm an American and I'm here to help.

Agreed that Thailand isn't is democracy. It's a Third World Shithole with a psychotic King. Disagreed that Thais or any other Asian peoples are living in "gookland".

Yes and I see it as an enabling bill to.prepare the ground for lowering the voting age to 16.
