This is common sense legislation; if we want our youth to be civicminded and engaged in our community, we need to remove barriers and make presidential caucusing accessible to all. Students (and parents, spectators, coaches, teachers and other staff) shouldnt have to choose between school activities and caucusing; please support this legislation.

RSAI and UEN are generally supportive of this concept, but are registered as undecided. We want to ensure this bill doesn't prevent school districts from providing activities for young students to effectively provide a safe child care environment for their parents to participate in the caucuses.
