AUSTIN, Texas -- With the 2018 elections approaching, thousands of high school students will be able to vote for the first time.
However, they first have to register.
According to a new report, most Texas high schools aren't registering students to vote, despite a state law that requires principals or other registrars to circulate voter registration forms at least twice a year.
The Secretary of State's Office has acknowledged the low number of schools requesting such forms and said it's making student voter registration a top priority.
