While some other states are trying to make it harder forpeople to vote, California is making it easier.
California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into a law a billsupported by AFJ and other groups to allowpeople to register to vote on Election Day. The bill won’t take effect until 2014 at the earliest, in order to allowtime to create a computer database of voters.
In his statement signing the bill Gov. Brown called voting “thesacred right of every citizen.” He added: “While other states try to restrictvoters with new laws that burden the process, California allows voters toregister online – and even on Election Day.”
