​​​​Sacramento County residents wishing to vote in the June 7 primary elections must be registered by May 23. 


“Residents must be registered to vote 15 days prior to an election, so we urge anyone who hasn’t done so to take action,” said Jill LaVine, Sacramento County Registrar of Voters.  

Residents must meet the following criteria to register: 

• United States citizen
• Resident of California
• At least 18 years of age (or will be by the date of the next election)
• Are not in prison or on parole for conviction of a felony
• Have not been judged by a court to be mentally incompetent to register and vote

And it’s not just first-time voters who need to register to vote; residents must re-register when they:

• Move 
• Change name 
• C​hange political party affiliation

Registering or re-registering can be done online or by completing a Voter registration card.

Sacramento County Voter Registration and Elections has seen a surge in voter registration. As of Jan. 21, 2016, the County’s total number of registered voters was 675,507. As of April 28, the total was 697,218.

“We’ve seen big increases daily in the number of registered voters,” said LaVine. “The numbers are impressive, and it’s encouraging to see this renewed interest in voting and the upcoming elections.” 

Breakdown of registered Sacramento County voters by political party (as of April 28):

• Democrat: 303,082
• Republican: 206,622
• American Independent: 21,464
• Green: 3,478
• Libertarian: 5,240
• Peace and Freedom: 5,267
• No Party Preference: 152,065
