Message from the Governor

[McClatchy-Tribune Media Services] California Governor Jerry Brown delivers a speech on the state budget, clean energy and a high speed rail project to the Los Angeles City Council and influential citizens at City Hall in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday, January 18, 2012.
As a college student you can help decide the future of California by voting on November 6.  But the first step is to register as a California voter before the deadline on Monday, October 22.

 

Registering to vote has never been easier.  For the first time, Californians can register to vote online.

 

Critical choices will be made at this election.  California voters will decide issues affecting education funding and college tuition, the state budget process, punishment for crimes, and food labeling rules.  And the candidates chosen will shape the policies of our state for years to come.

 

You are eligible to vote in California if you are:

•        A United States citizen,

•        A resident of California,

•        18 years of age or older on Election Day,

•        Not currently serving any part of a felony sentence (see the Secretary of State’s website for more information).

•        Not found by a court to be mentally incompetent.

If you have moved from your previous address, or changed your name, you should register again.

 

The power is in your hands—don’t miss the opportunity to make your voice heard.

 

Register before the deadline, Monday, October 22.

 

Then vote on Tuesday, November 6.

 

With respect,

 

Governor Jerry Brown
