suffrage

In a first for California, teens in two Alameda County school districts, Berkeley and Oakland, were granted suffrage in school board races for the first time this November.

In the Bay Area, voters in Albany will vote Tuesday on a measure to grant suffrage to 16- and 17-year-olds.

The first place in California to authorize youth suffrage was Berkeley, where in 2016 more than 70% of voters approved a measure allowing students to have a voice in school board races.

Woven into these attacks on "single issue" female voters is an unsubtle loathing of women's suffrage.

So while the Board of Parole may grant clemency, the Legislature holds primary authority for determining how the whole range of civil rights, including suffrage, are restored.
