H.R. 10202 — High School Voter Empowerment Act of 2026

This section requires each State to designate all public high schools as voter registration agencies, in addition to offices providing public assistance and State-funded programs primarily serving persons with disabilities. It also limits optional designations of other public schools under the Act to elementary schools only.

This section requires each public high school to conduct a voter registration drive at least once per academic year, with the goal of registering all students enrolled in an American Government or Economics class who are at least 17 years old as of April 10 and eligible to register to vote in federal elections in the state. It also directs the Secretary of Education to reimburse schools for reasonable costs of the drives, with such sums as necessary authorized for FY2026 and each succeeding fiscal year.
