How You Can Register
to Vote
Fill Out A Voter Registration Form
Now
Click here (ENGLISH
/ ESPAÑOL)
to download and complete the voter registration
form on your computer. When you fill in your
address, the address for your county elections
office will automatically be added. Then simply
print the form, sign it, and mail it directly to
your county elections office.
Have A Voter Registration Form Mailed to
You
Click here (ENGLISH
| ESPAÑOL)
to fill out a voter registration form that will be
mailed to you for your signature. Because state law
requires you to provide a valid signature on a
voter registration card, you will not be registered
to vote until your county elections office receives
a signed copy of this form.
It will be approximately 7 to 14 days before you
receive this form. Because all voter registration
forms must be postmarked (or hand delivered to the
appropriate county elections office) 15 days before
an election, you should not exercise this option
fewer than 30 days before an election.
Pick Up A Voter Registration Form
You can pick up a voter registration form at
your county elections office, library, or U.S. Post
Office. It is important that your voter
registration form be filled out completely and be
postmarked or hand-delivered to your county
elections office at least 15 days before the
election.

from the Secretary of State (Voter Registration
& Participation) website.
