What rules, reforms, and planned reforms are intended to make it easier for Californians to register to vote and to vote?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. The Top-Two primary enables independents to participate in primary elections. In the coming years, all vote-by-mail elections and regional voting centers will replace neighborhood polling places; these will be open for 30 days before election day, and voters will be able to drop in or drop off their mail-in ballots. Starting in 2018, voters will be able to register to vote on the day that they cast a ballot--also known as same-day registration--without running afoul of laws designed to prevent voter fraud. The new VoteCal database also allows 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote. In addition, an existing motor voter law reduces barriers to vote even further: effective January 1, 2016, Californians are automatically registered to vote when they renew their driver licenses or register their cars with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) unless they opt out. As of 2012, Californians can register to vote via the Internet; online voter registration is a service offered in 34 other states and DC.
