California students, now is a great time to pre-register to vote if you are at least 16 years old! If you pre-register, your voter registration will automatically become active as soon as you turn 18. You can find out more on California’s voter registration website here!

If you are not a California resident, you can look up your own state’s voter registration laws here: https://vote.gov/

Voting is one of the best ways you can fulfill your duties as a citizen, and we hope you are able to have many fruitful conversations with your parents as your time to vote draws near!
