Register to Vote
If you want to vote in an election — whether for city council, school board, governor, or president — you must first register to vote. You must register at least 29 days prior to the election. Voter registration forms are available at US post offices, California Department of Motor Vehicles and other governmental offices. Forms can also be mailed to you or downloaded from the web (see below).
You must re-register any time you change your address.
Why you should register Green
- Registering Green makes a clear and effective political statement. The more people who register Green, the stronger the Green Party will be, and the more all parties will take Green issues and Green voters seriously.
- The Green Party of California was founded in 1990 and achieved ballot status in 1992. Today, over 140,000 Californians are registered to vote as Green Party members.
- If you are already registered Green, help us register others. For more information on how you can help, call or email.
