CA SCR128

Declares Monday, April 13, 2026, to Friday, April 24, 2026, as High School Voter Education Weeks in California.

Strongly encourages local educational agencies to dedicate at least one of the two weeks to educating students in grades 9-12 on the electoral process.

Recommends instruction covering 31 specific topics including voter registration, the electoral college, ballot measures, election security, media literacy in politics, campaign finance, and historical disparities in voting rates.

Encourages school districts to provide digital and physical resources for instruction and to contract with third-party nonprofit organizations with experience in nonpartisan youth civic engagement.

No fiscal impact; builds on existing Education Code Section 49040 which already designates the last two full weeks in April for high school voter education activities.
