Online Voter Registration Is Successful

California’s new online voter reg­is­tra­tion sys­tem appears to be work­ing. The state’s largest bipar­ti­san elec­tion data firm says those who reg­is­tered online were sig­nif­i­cantly more likely to vote in the Novem­ber elec­tion. Sen­a­tor Leland Yee says the num­bers are over­whelm­ing, espe­cially with the increase in young peo­ple and first time vot­ers. Fresno County had a nearly 79-percent turnout for online reg­is­tra­tion voters.
