A whopping 100,000 16- and 17-year-olds have preregistered to vote in the Golden State
Washington (CNN)California teens are prepared to rock the vote when they turn 18.
A whopping 100,000 16- and 17-year-olds have preregistered to vote in the Golden State since a law enacted in 2016 gave young people the opportunity to sign up to vote before they are eligible, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said last week.
The number is an increase from the roughly 90,000 who had preregistered to vote in California as of a month ago.
"The numbers keep going up," Padilla told CNN. "These kids know that to change the political environment and policy, they need to register to vote, and they need to vote."

and getting the vote out. I got a gmail from Rep. Swalwell...he isn't even my rep but I contact ALL of them on important issues and concerns.
"Thank you for standing with me against hatred, against ignorance. Together, we will keep standing for our values and rights to help all Americans succeed.
It is important that we do not get tired or forget our goals. That is what the Trump Administration is betting on. I’ll be sure to keep you updated on key issues such as gun violence and climate change.
With midterms just around the corner, make sure you're registered to vote. Visit Vote.gov to find out how.
I’m grateful that we are in this together."
