If the father naturalizes while the son is a minor, the son becomes a citizen. if the father only files declarations of intent, the son can still vote by declaring intent. Sons who do not know their father's status can register and affidavit on election day. The AG stated that a minor who came with parents and whose father voted in good faith would not be criminally liable for voting, though technically a violation of the law’s wording.
