Voter Registration

The best way to bring about real change in our state is to exercise our right to vote. Your vote is your direct link to the leaders and legislation that affect you. It is also easy and fast if you register to vote by mail.

In order to vote you’ll first need to register. Here’s how:

Register to Vote

To register to vote you’ll need to complete a voter registration form.

Click here to fill out a voter registration form online. This form may also be found at your closest public office (post office, library, DMV, county election office, etc.) or have one mailed to you by calling 1-800-345-VOTE.
Print it out and send it in to your local county elections office. (The address will automatically be filled in when you enter yours.)
Register early to make sure your vote is counted.

Vote by Mail

Any registered California voter may vote using a vote-by-mail ballot (formerly referred to as “Absentee Voting”) instead of going to the polls on Election Day. You can also become a permanent vote-by-mail voter and automatically receive a ballot for every election to vote from the comfort of your own home—no driving to a polling place, no waiting in line, and no time wasted!
