One amendment, Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4 would mean Californians could vote in primary or special elections if they are 18 by the general election. The other, Assembly Constitutional Amendment 8, would allow 17-year-olds to vote in all elections. According to KSBY, some opponents worry young minds are too easily swayed by social media.
