In California, the deadline to register to vote for an election is 15 days before each local and statewide election. You do not have to choose a political party in order to register. Registration is free of charge and permanent unless you change political parties, your name or address. In those cases, you must re-register. Registration forms are available in a number of locations, including the office where you license and title your vehicles. It is also possible to download and print out a registration form on the county and state elections information websites. Upon completion of the registration card, return it in person or by mail to the county registrar of voters. Before each election, the county will mail you a sample ballot with the location of your poll. California residents are able to vote by absentee ballet without stating a reason. Contact your county registrar of voters for details:<\/p>\n<p><strong>California Secretary of State<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Elections &amp; Voter Information<\/strong><br \/>\n916-653-6814<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ss.ca.gov\/elections\">www.ss.ca.gov\/elections<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Political Parties<\/strong><br \/>\nCalifornia has eight official parties that include the dominant Republican and Democratic parties.
