As for me, I put the following into "/etc/sudoers" (but not directly –
there is ‘sudoers’ field in ‘operating-system’ declaration):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Cmnd_Alias HALT = /run/current-system/profile/sbin/reboot, \
                  /run/current-system/profile/sbin/halt
<my-name> <my-host>=NOPASSWD: HALT
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Also I have the following shell aliases (in my ~/.bashrc):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
alias reboot='sudo reboot'
alias halt='sudo halt'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After that I can use "halt" and "reboot" as a user (without promting for
a password).  I hope it helps.
