Last week I announced that 16 and 17-year-olds can now pre-register to vote online in California.
Online pre-registration will help more young people vote as soon as they are eligible. Whether they’re at school, at home, or hanging out with friends, young Californians can pre-register to vote on their smartphone, tablet or laptop. It’s quick and easy.
Getting young people involved early makes them informed and engaged citizens.
At a time when the Trump administration is spreading false accusations about illegal voting — and attacking our healthcare, our environment, and our immigrant communities — I’m working to empower young people to use their voices and VOTE as soon as they’re eligible.
But I need your help. Please share the news with the 16 or 17 year-olds you know today! Because we all need to do our part in protection and strengthening the right to vote for every Californian.
Thank you,
Alex Padilla
