Existing law requires the Secretary of State to provide every high school with voter registration forms. Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that every eligible high school student receive a meaningful opportunity to apply to register to vote. Existing law requires the last 2 full weeks in April and in September to be known as “high school voter weeks,” during which time persons authorized by the county elections official are allowed to register to vote pupils and school personnel on high school campuses.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
(a)The last two full weeks in April and the last two full weeks in September shall be known as “high school voter education weeks,” during which time persons authorized by the county elections official shall be allowed to register students and school personnel on a high school campus in areas designated by the administrator of the high school, or the administrator’s designee, which are reasonably accessible to all students.
(b)This section does not preclude a person from registering to vote students and school personnel on a high school campus as is otherwise permitted by the Elections Code.
