Secretary of State Alex Padilla also noted that high school students are taking advantage of a new program to pre-register to vote, starting when they are 16-years-old. Teens who pre-register have their registration automatically activated when they turn 18. As of Feb. 3, there were 156,022 pre-registered 16- and 17-year-olds.

“Whenever I talk to high students it is clear that they care about their communities and democracy,” said Padilla. “Pre-registration provides a platform for young people to begin entering the electoral process before they reach 18. I am so proud that pre-registration has now helped over a half million California teens take their first steps into the democratic process. I am challenging California teens, school administrators, and parents to help us add another 100,000 pre-registrations by the November 2020 General Election.”

Padilla has visited 82 high schools to promote the pre-registration program.
