California voters to be automatically registered at DMV

[leftcoastmountains]

As I recall, another one of Bernie's issues.

-snip-
AB1461 by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, aims to boost California's voter rolls by registering visitors to the Department of Motor Vehicles and was among dozens of bills that Brown announced Saturday he had signed.

It follows Oregon's move earlier this year to adopt the nation's first automatic voter registration law.

The legislation backed by Democratic Secretary of State Alex Padilla calls for data collected by the DMV to be provided to the secretary of state's office, which would verify a resident's legal eligibility to vote before registering them. Drivers would have the option to opt out or cancel their voter registration at any time.

1. If it uses Oregon's new law as a model, they need to take later register as a Democrat...

... by returning a postcard with the Democratic Party box checked on it, which is the way that Oregon law currently is set to work now.

Though in the case of California, with an Open Primary state, perhaps it isn't as important to be registered as a Democrat to vote in the primaries?
