Voter registration deadline is Monday

The last day to register to vote in the upcoming election is May 23, 2016.

To be eligible to register to vote, one must be a U.S. Citizen, 18 years old on or before Election Day, not currently imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony, and not currently found to be mentally incompetent by a court of law.

Voters who have moved, wish to change political party preference, or who have changed their names should re-register by the deadline. Voters should notify our office if their mailing address has changed.

California has on-line registration at registertovote.ca.gov. Postage-paid registration forms are available at city halls, post offices, public libraries, many county government offices, and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Voters may also pick up registration forms at the Registrar of Voters Office, 435 Fiscal Drive, Santa Rosa. For voters’ convenience, the Registrar of Voters Office has a 24/7 drive-up window. Persons requiring assistance through use of a TDD may call 565-6888 for voter information.
