Learn how Samantha Bevins, a Massachusetts high school student, began an effort to lower the voting age to allow 17-year-olds to vote in the primary election if they will turn 18 years old by the time of the general election. The Game Changers: Your Rights in Action series features personal stories of civic engagement and asks students to identify the constitutional or civic right being exercised, the civic strategy employed, and the impact of the civic action.
