The Golden State has taken steps in recent years to increase the availability of its online election resources. In doing so, the state has created a timely and technologically-savvy system to motivate young voters to participate in the electoral system. Better than 4 out of every 5 Millennials own a smart phone. Immediate and mobile access to information about candidates and ballot measures presents an opportunity to use this technology to meet the voters in their comfort zone via the gadget in the palms of their hands. They can use their smart phones to make informed decisions about which candidates and issues they want to support—up until the point they cast their ballots in the voting booth.
