California to Vote on Stricter Voter Registration Rules

California will vote on a proposal to require proof of citizenship for voter registration and ID at polling places.
The measure is backed by Republicans, including state Senator Tony Strickland, and aims to enhance confidence in the electoral process.
Opponents argue these requirements could disenfranchise vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and disabled.
This proposal comes during a critical election year, with Californians set to choose a new governor and influence control of Congress.
