California Bill Passes, Would Let All 17-Year-Olds Fills out Voter Registration Form

September 15th, 2009

On September 10, the California legislature passed AB 30. It lets any citizen who is 17 years old complete a voter registration form and submit it. The county would process it, but it would not take effect until that individual is 18 years old. Under current law, 17-year-olds can only fill out a voter registration form if they will be age 18 by the next election.

    PSL Gubernatorial candidate Carlos Alvarez is proposing lowering the voting age to 16.

    How about submitting a form at age ONE second after birth and hope that the bureaucracy does not lose the form for 17-18 years ???

    Does that mean that 17 year olds will be called for
    jury duty?
