  • Summary

  • Governor Newsom is still plowing through hundreds of bills on his desk, one of which would change how California registers people to vote. Voter turnout will be key to this November’s election, and this bill is designed to bring more Californians into the electorate. The measure is Senate Bill 299, and it would update California’s “motor voter” registration law. Right now, anyone who gets a driver’s license or state ID is automatically registered to vote too, as long as they indicate that they are eligible to vote. This new bill, if Governor Newsom signs it into law, would allow the Secretary of State, working with the DMV, to “pre-approve” applicants, streamlining the voter registration process. For more, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, along with KCBS Insider Doug Sovern, were joined by Christopher Wilson, vice president of operations at the social justice political advocacy organization PowerPAC, and a member of the California Grassroots Democracy Coalition. This is the State of California.
