About this Event
California’s voting system has been overhauled with mail-in ballots and same-day registration, yet turnout remains notably low. Why does our richly diverse state fail to translate into representative turnout, and what alchemy might revive it? Explore California’s practical strategies for local, state, and federal elections and uncover what works—and what doesn’t. Learn from the state’s election history since 1960 and see how these insights could improve voter participation across the country.
Join California Humanities and the J.B. McClatchy Foundation for a free public panel and reception at the Sacramento Public Library Galleria on Thursday, October 3.
