California approves online voter registration



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

It's about time, but why aren't the other forty one states doing the same? More from ThinkProgress:

Senate Bill 397, by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, allows to state to begin registering voters online ahead of the completion of a new statewide voter registration database. [...]

Supporters had argued that the bill would make it easier for Californians to register to vote, increasing voter participation.

“In the 21st century, especially here in California, it is long overdue to have online voter registration,” Yee said in a statement. “SB 397 will not only help protect the integrity of the vote, but will allow many more individuals the opportunity to register and participate in our democracy.”
