Thanks for the resource, I had a brief look into the laws of California. As it is, I am not a lawyer, so don't take my word as truth.
According to California Elections Code, Sec. 102 and 2101, those circulating petitions are required:
- to be a citizen of the United States
- to be at least 18 years of age or older
- to be a resident of the state
- to not be in prison or parole for conviction with a felony.[0]
So I think that rules out my own involvement. I'm bummed I'm excluded from participating in an activity that I want to lean about. This, despite the fact that I do, on virtue of paying taxes and actively participating in civic live, support the government and country. I should have an avenue to learn about how these institutions function in government, even if my role is strictly participatory and non-voting.
