Californians, go ahead and give yourselves a pat on the back.
Why? Because Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced this week that we're breaking records on voter registration.
More than 18 million Californians are now registered— that amounts to almost two-thirds of everyone eligible to vote.
For those of you who are registered to vote, there's even more good news: a new, five-minute song that's going to get you prepped on all props.
It's part "99 Bottles of Beer" and a little bit "Schoolhouse Rock":
The 2016 proposition song is courtesy of Kim Alexander, president of the non-partisan California Voter Foundation.
She joined Take Two to talk about the song, the rise in registration, and early voting starting next week.
