Last week, 209,577 Young People in California, aged 16 and 17, had Pre-Registered to Vote on National Voter Registration Day.

In 2014, Gov. Jerry Brown Signed a Bill that Allowed Citizens as Young as 16 years Old to Pre-Register via VoteCal, California’s Statewide Voter Registration Database.

VoteCal was Certified in September 2016 and over 200,00 have Registered, and more than 104,000 of the 16- and 17-year olds that Pre-Registered have turned 18. They are eligible to Vote in the upcoming November Election.

Other than No Party Preference, 34.44% of these Kids Registered as Democrats and only 9.59% Registered as Republicans.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla has been hard at work to get Young People ready to go to the Polls by the time they are of age.

In 2017 He helped set up Pre-Voter Registration called RegisterToVote.ca.gov.

He also started an Online High School Portal to connect California Youth with Civic engagement Opportunities like Pre-Registration, Organizing Student Mock Elections, and Student Poll Worker Information. That Portal is at HighSchool.sos.ca.gov.

Cheers to Californians for helping to encourage their Youth on the importance of every Vote. In what might feel like no time, these Young People will be deciding the Future of our Country.
