Deadline to register for June primary election is May 23

En español »

The Sonoma County Registrar of Voters is reminding Sonoma County residents that the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming June 7 statewide direct primary election is May 23.

To be eligible to register to vote, one must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old on or before Election Day, and not in prison for the conviction of a felony. Voters who have recently moved or changed their name should re-register. Residents who miss the deadline still have the option to “conditionally” register and vote in person. Please contact the Registrar of Voters Office for further details.

Eligible voters can register online at registertovote.ca.gov. In addition, postage-paid paper forms are available at many public and government offices including city halls, post offices, and the Registrar of Voters Office. Online registrations must be completed and submitted by 11:59 p.m. on May 23. Paper forms that are returned by mail must be postmarked on or before May 23, while paper forms returned in person must be dropped off at the Registrar of Voters Office’s drive-through drop box any time until 11:59 p.m. on May 23.
