Students Rally with Assemblymember Low to Support Lowering the Voting Age

(Sacramento) - Students and elected officials rallied in support for Assemblymember Evan Low’s proposal to lower the voting age from 18 to 17 in California. The press conference and rally was part of a Capitol Day in which over 30 Youth Commissioners from six Bay Area cities learned about the legislative process and met with their state representatives. “It is our responsibility to inspire the next generation to become active and informed voters,” said Assemblymember Low. “Lowering the voting age will hook students while they are young, connected to their home towns, and learning about the legislative process.” Here’s more from Assemblymember Low and some of the students in this Assembly Access video.
