The deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 6 general election is today.
Applications submitted online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov prior to midnight will be honored, as will paper forms postmarked by the deadline. Paper applications are available at the Department of Motor Vehicle offices, post offices, government offices and other locations.
California residents may register to vote if they are U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, not adjudicated as mentally incompetent and not precluded because of certain criminal convictions. A person must re-register to vote after moving, changing names or changing political party preference.
