All 17-year-olds can now register to vote
Posted September 15th, 2009 by crockfordAccording to Ballot Access News...
"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."
