Ballot Access News - California Bill for Automatic Voter Registration Advances
Interesting and positive development. That would make California and Oregon the first two states that I know of to approach the issue of automatic voter registration.
Sounds like a good, solid idea to me, since it promotes Democracy.
On August 27, the California Senate Appropriations Committee passed AB 1461, the bill to provide that all adult citizens known to the state should be automatically registered to vote. Such individuals would be informed that they had become registered, and would be given a chance to opt out...
...The bill is likely to pass. It had passed the Assembly on June 2. The Republican leader in the Assembly, Kristin Olsen, had voted “No” but now she appears to support it, according to remarks she made at a public meeting on August 19.
