• You are a United States citizen

• You are not in prison or on parole for conviction of a felony
• You have not been judged by a court to be mentally incompetent to register & vote

As a California voter, you should be aware that there are ongoing local elections throughout the state.

The 15-day close of registration deadline for these local elections varies depending on the actual date of the election. If you need to know a deadline for a local election, you will need to contact your local county elections office to confirm the deadline.

It is important that the completed voter registration form has a 15-day deadline postmark on it. It is not the Secretary of State's Office desire to disenfranchise anyone from the voting process.
