A person is entitled to register to vote if they are:
- A U.S. citizen
- A resident of California

California election law denies the right to vote to persons who have been determined mentally incompetent.
How And Where To Register To Vote:
To register to vote, a person needs to complete and sign a Voter Registration Form and mail it to the Elections Division of the County Clerk-Recorder-Registrar. These forms are pre-addressed and postage paid. (Some forms carry the Secretary of State's address in Sacramento or the address of another county - these forms can be used also.)
Voter registration forms are available at the Elections Division, 2956 Richardson Drive, Auburn, CA. Forms are also available at:
- Post Offices
- Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV's)
- City Clerks Offices
- Public Libraries
- Chambers of Commerce
- High Schools.
You may also call the Elections Division, (530) 886-5650, to have one mailed to you. The Secretary of State's Office has a Voter Registration Form available for downloading at http://www.ss.ca.gov/ (Under 'Elections & Voter Information').
How To Change Name - Address - Political Party:
If you:
- Have gotten married and/or changed your name or;
- Moved within the County and need to change your address or;
- Wish to change your political party;
you may simply complete another Voter Registration Card and mail it in and we will update your registration to reflect the change.
Deadline To Register For An Election:
You must be registered at least 15 days prior to an election in order to vote in that election. Once you are registered, you will remain on the rolls and be eligible to vote until you move out of the county or become ineligible. Failure to vote in an election does not make you ineligible.
