Voter Registration Hits New Record in Calif.

FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — California’s voter registration has reach an all-time high heading into the November election.

Secretary of State Alex Padilla says more than 19 million people are registered, which is nearly 76 percent of those who are eligible.

The Golden State has not had such a large share of registered voters, since 77 percent of the eligible population was registered, ahead of the 1996 election.

Around 18.3 million people were registered at this stage 2 years ago, and 17.6 million, ahead of the 2014 election.
