On November 6, 2012, elections will take place in which we’ll choose our next president, members of Congress, state lawmakers, and decide eleven state propositions and local measures/candidates.
We would like to share a few important dates and new information related to the November 6 elections:
- Mail-in ballots are now on their way to you from Registrar of Voters' offices if you've requested them. Or you can ask for one here, online.
- If you haven’t registered, the last day to register to vote is Oct. 22, 2012. Online voter registration is available on the Secretary of State's website. Over 400,000 Californians have registered online in the past three weeks since the launch on Wednesday, September 19, 2012. We Facebooked and Tweeted National Voter Registration Day (#nvrd) on September 25, 2012, using the full extent of our social media reach to highlight online voter registration. However, there are six more million Californians that have not registered yet. Don't be left out!
