Future Voter Pre-Registration
Secretary of State reaches out to younger voters
The Secretary of State has now made it even easier for the next generation to register to vote! 16 and 17 year olds can pre-register to vote by visiting
www.registertovote.ca.gov or requesting a paper registration card from the San Mateo County Elections Office at
registrar@smcare.org.
When the individual turns 18, their registration will automatically become active. This will make it easier for our students who leave for college to ensure they are registered to vote in their hometown.
