image for Glenn Youngkin's Underage Son Tried to Vote in Virginia Governor's Election, Officials Say

The 17-year-old son of Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin twice tried to cast a ballot on Election Day even though he is not yet eligible to vote, election officials confirm to News4.

News4 is not naming Youngkin's son because he is a minor and has not been charged with a crime.

Fairfax County election officials said the teen went to the Hickory precinct polling place at Great Falls Library.

Election workers were able to determine he was not eligible to vote and didn't allow him to cast a ballot.

The young man presented identification but was ineligible to be registered due to his age and was not permitted to vote.

The teen was told he wasn't eligible to vote and again was offered the opportunity to register, notes show. »
