HAVE YOU MOVED?
When you move to a new address, you should update your voter registration. This is important so that you may receive election information in the mail, and to ensure you may vote for all of the appropriate candidates and measures.If your voter registration does not reflect your current address, your name will not be on the list of voters at the polling place, but you can request a "provisional" ballot. This is just like a regular ballot, but it is inserted into a special envelope and will only be counted after the elections official checks to make sure you are properly registered to vote. Be sure to sign the envelope!
The last day to register to vote for the June 6, 2006 Primary Election is May 22, 2006.
(NOTE: If you moved to your new address after May 22, you can return to your old polling place to vote.)
