High School Voter Education Weeks (September 19–30, 2022)
Civic engagement will always be an ongoing learning experience. It is never too early to motivate our students to get involved.
In advance of High School Voter Education Weeks, we’re sharing information to aid our young and future voters on the pathway of civic engagement, awareness, and voting.
It is now easier than ever to get sixteen- and seventeen-year-old students civically engaged through pre-registration. Once students pre-register to vote, they will automatically become eligible to vote when they turn eighteen years old. Pre-registration has been successful in California, with more than 900,000 pre-registrations since the program launched in September 2016.
To learn more about the California Secretary of State’s youth programs, please visit the California Secretary of State High School and Youth Initiatives web page at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/high-school-programs/, which includes important information about voter registration and pre-registration, the California Student Mock Election, the Student Poll Worker program, and High School Voter Education Weeks.
Eligible students can visit the California Secretary of State California Online Voter Registration website at https://registertovote.ca.gov/ to register or pre-register to vote.
Book Signing at Dove Library on September 20
Many middle school students in Carlsbad read the book A Long Walk to Water by Salva Dut. The author will be at Carlsbad’s Dove Library on Tuesday, September 20 from 6pm to 7pm to sign copies of his book.
The event is open to the public, but Carlsbad Unified students will be given priority if they arrive fifteen minutes early to be seated. For a $10.00 donation, students will receive A Long Walk to Water book that Salva will sign. Or, if you already have your own copy of the book, bring it for Salva to sign.
