January 22, 2008 is the most important date that will affect whether or not you can vote in California’s Presidential Primary. January 22nd is the deadline by which you must be registered to vote.
Candidates seeking their party’s nomination for U.S. President will be on this ballot. There will be no other candidates for national or statewide offices on this ballot. Additionally, there will be statewide Initiatives, which have qualified to be on the February 5th ballot.
Important dates for February 5th Presidential Primary:
• January 22, 2008 - deadline to register to vote on February 5, 2008.
• January 29, 2008 - last day County Elections Offices can receive requests for absentee ballots for the February 5, 2008 Presidential Primary Election.
• February 5, 2008 - Election Day (8:00 pm is the deadline for absentee ballots to be received by Election officials.)
Registration:
You must be registered to vote at your current address at least 15 days prior to an election in order to vote in that election. However, once you are registered, you will remain on the rolls and be eligible to vote in all future elections until you move or otherwise become ineligible.
For more information on voter registration and absentee ballots, please see our article, “Vote - It’s Our Civic Responsibility” on our web site at www.pheofca.org.
County Elections Office:
Your County Elections Officer can answer any additional questions about your registration, absentee ballots, or voting in general. You can locate your County Elections Office very easily at the California Secretary of State’s web site, www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_d.htm.
