LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley reported that the last day to register to vote in the June 7 presidential primary election is May 23.
A completed voter registration form must be either personally delivered to the Registrar of Voters Office – located in Room 209 at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport – on or before May 23; or, postmarked on or before May 23 and received by mail by the Registrar of Voters Office.
Pursuant to Section 2101 of the California Elections Code: "A person entitled to register to vote shall be a United States citizen, a resident of California, not imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony, and at least 18 years of age at the time of the next election".
Fridley also advised new Lake County residents and registered voters who have moved to a new address, changed their mailing address within the county, or changed their name that you need to
register or reregister to vote by May 23.
May 23 also is the deadline for voters who want to change or select a political party for the June 7 presidential primary election, Fridley said.
For those voters who lost their homes in last year's wildland fires, Fridley said that if homeowners plan on rebuilding their homes on the same property in the future, they may continue to use their pre-fire residence address for this election and upcoming elections until they can return to their home.
Fridley said residents may register to vote at the Registrar of Voters Office in Lakeport or register to vote online by visiting http://registertovote.ca.gov/ .
Registration forms are also available at most local post offices, libraries, city offices and chamber of commerce offices.
