Why can I vote for school board members or on referenda in the primary if Ill be 18 by general election day in November?
The elections for school board members and referenda are final decisions made decided with those votes. You aren’t legally old enough to “vote” yet. However choices you make on the primary ballot are for a political party. This primary is the way the party selects who will represent it in the general election in the fall. By November when the office holder will be actually elected you’ll be 18 and eligible to vote.
