Still time to register to vote
Tuesday, Jan. 22 is the last day to register or re-register to vote in the February election. Voter registration forms are available at city halls, fire stations, post offices, public libraries and most county government offices. They are also available at the registrar’s office and online at www.sccvote.org or by calling toll-free (866) 430-VOTE [8683].
Voters need re-register only to change their name, address, or party affiliation. Voters registered with a qualified political party can only vote for their specific party’s candidates for President. Voters who decline to state a party affiliation can either vote a nonpartisan ballot or request either an American Independent or Democratic partisan ballot, since those two parties have chosen to allow nonpartisan voters to vote for their presidential nominees. California’s qualified political parties are American Independent, Democratic, Green, Libertarian, Peace & Freedom and Republican.
