Register to vote by filling out a form

Pick up a Voter Registration Form in the Cañada College Library. Ask us for the forms at the reference desk.

The State of California Voter Registration Form asks for:

your name
address
date of birth
place of birth
telephone number and
email address.

You may choose one of six political parties - American Independent, Democratic, Green, Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, or Republican - or "I decline to state a political party" or "Other."

The form will ask you if your are a United States citizen and whether you will be 18 before Election Day. You may choose to vote by mail by checking "Permanent Absentee Voter."

Postage is paid - all you need to do is to fold them form in half and moisten the edge to seal it. Mail your voter registration form in the mailbox near the bookstore.
