So this is an informational item so we can go on to the next item number 5. Number 5 draft report only what the city and county of San Francisco can do to help increase the voter turnout. So we have enrique a policy Research Intern presenting his work on expanding the Voter Participation and lets make sure we hear from mr. Aguilar first. Perfect. Jason fried, executive officer for lafco first ill give you some highlights and im going to turn it over to to enrique the key points are the voting mechanisms that increase the Voter Participation and have currently loud in california and San Francisco charter law you what our potential reviews at the state and county level from external factors so were asked to identify factor that may increase voter turnout and government Voter Participation because of work ive been doing on psa i talked with the university of california, San Francisco with theyre Political Department any had a Great Success in the past of finding graduate students for studies weve been working and enrique isemulsification this as a cap stone for his program with that, im going to turn it over to the bulk of the presentation and come back with the next steps at the ended. First and foremost thank you, commissioners for this hearing for the rest of the nation for this as well. Research for this report includes contributions from john arts of San Francisco department of the elaboration and the Organizations Community organizations and academic professionals at the university of california, San Francisco turning to my first point what is allowed by california state law online Voter Registration was implemented in california in 2012 to register on line 3 identification requirements to determine the equity and those include a california drivers license or identification card number last 4 dithsz of a persons Social Security number and the date of birth for voting age english dish and another election data for a set percent of l e p age earlier persons voting against 29 days before protection day and voters are able to cast their plastic bottles in 8 to 5 00 p. M. During normal business housed and the last two weekends before the election at the moment the california secreting is reviewing the automatic Voter Registration and vote any mail the automatic Voter Registrations gives the government offices to look at the business with the vote by mail all registered voters get ballots several weeks before an election they can mail back and take to a drop off location or polling place santa clara allowed the county in 2015 to hold all mail location a absent i didnt voting is called vote by mail in california not the same since ab at the for a voter to request an absence at the ballot the two bar graphs it is increased in San Francisco and in california since 2000 now id like to discuss Voting System reforms discussed in this report that would require an amendment to californias constitution or the enact time of new protective California Law allows on probation to reregistration to vote but restoring the voting right to folks in prison requires the enact time of new protective it makes casting a ballot able to connect to any location nevertheless, potential treats and the lack of annunciate make that impossible with the currently technology with organizations like the initiative or experimenting with internet protocol masking technology to tackle it and make that secure and amaze those in of favor of lower the voting age to 16 agree it could increase voter turnout for had been actually teen voters that face major transitioned at 18 and they will be less likely to be long term voters. It is california were to pass legislation to expand Voting Rights to nonsense that will be the first state in the nation to do so nonsense cannot participate in local elections in maryland and new york city it reviewing proposing paroles to give nonresident the right to vote in the 2020 election. Turning now to what will require to the San Francisco charter in 20159 San FranciscoYouth Commission passed the resolution advocating for the extension of Voting Rights to 16 and 17 yearold their evidence from tacoma park maryland have lowered the voting age for a higher participation rates then older voters as a chartered city San Francisco has tried to modify its chartered by putting on ballot the opposition in 2004 and proposition d in 2010 to allow nonsense to vote in school board elections, however, those noncitizen ballot consumers or measures didnt receive enough support to pass my final point in regards to external factors outside of the government control the relevance or candidate on ballot can be central to come out to vote and has a advantage as a candidate outreach for political campaigns are instrumental in getting voters and nonvoters to the polls mobile listing them there grassroots has proven to be effective as a result of door to door canvassing on election day the communitybased organizations and public gleaning in. To summarize the main points of my presentation id like to directing your attention to voting reforms in california the vote cal system is currently in the late testing stage before the launch the california skrairt is collaborating with voters automatically and extending Voting Rights to nonsense and restoring the Voting Rights is not allowed by California Law a policy decision for the state of california or San Francisco if they want to pursue the legislation that allows more people in the communities to par take in the democracy feinstein technology has been the driving force behind any innovations that have revolutions the way we completing complete our tasks i urge california to modernize the organized registration so temp like the internet and social media and devices leads to sustainable increase in turnout in minority groups with the status of nonvoter. Now im going to turn it over to to jason fried to discuss the next steps. Jason fried what weve done we have released this out to those we implicit input in other words, to get feedback weve received some feedback im expediting anymore we ask the comments turned in today, of course, over the weekend we will put that and rework it there is also a couple of things the go legislative will include the Incorporated New items at the state level to make sure we have a full report and assuming we dont get and crazy amount of changes or over the weekends we have a final report and upcoming with that, if you have any questions. Thank you, mr. Aguilar for your presentation a good and thorough report i appreciate that one thing that comes up for me weve now you know measuring our ability insure that everyone that wants to vote votes in a this way especially in the country in the primary elections were seeing there was Clark Community in nevada Lottas Fountain earthquake and phoenix and parts of new york city real challenges to make sure there were enough ballots and voting places we saw long lines in many of the places we were turned away im not sure to what extent this is you know happened here in San Franci
