Meg


By Meg News Channel

Monday marked the start of early voting for the June 8 primary, and it’s more critical than ever
that Californians cast a ballot in this election. Meg is the only fiscal conservative in the race and we
believe she is the only candidate for governor who can turn our state around.

Learn how you can do your part – register to vote, request a ballot from your county registrar or
find out more about Meg’s plan for building “A New California.”

To register to vote in the June 8 primary election, your registration must be postmarked no later
than May 24 and mailed to your county registrar’s office. Do not send it to the California Secretary
of State’s office, or it will delay receipt of your ballot. You can find a list of county registrar offices
and contact information here: http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_d.htm

If you are voting absentee, your ballot should be arriving in the mail soon. You have until June 1 to
request an absentee ballot. And, of course, you can go to the polls on June 8.

Here are more answers to some questions you may have:

Q: How do I know if I’m eligible to vote in California?

A: You may register to vote in California if:

• You are a U.S. citizen
• You are a resident of California
• You are at least 18 years old (or will be by the date of the election)
• You are not in prison or on parole for a felony conviction
• You haven’t been judged by a court to be mentally incompetent

Q: How do I register to vote?

A: Visit the California Secretary of State's website at http://www.sos.ca.gov/nvrc/fedform/

• Fill out the form either online or by hand
• Mail or fax the registration to your county elections office
• To find the address of your county elections office, visit

Q: How do I vote by mail?

A: You have until June 1 to request an absentee ballot. There are several ways to obtain a ballot:
• You can use the application printed on your Sample Ballot that is mailed to you by your
county elections official prior to every election.
 • If you don't want to wait for your sample ballot, you can write to your county elections
official for an application or you may use the California Vote-By-Mail Ballot Application.
(Downloadable PDF)
• Once you have signed and dated the application, mail it to your county elections office.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not send it to the Secretary of State's office, because this will delay
receipt of your vote-by-mail ballot.

Q: I’m a decline-to-state voter. Can I still vote for Meg?

A: Absolutely. If you are a voter who has declined to state an affiliation with a political party, you
can still vote for Meg in the primary election. When you call your local registrar or go into the
voting booth on June 8, request a Republican ballot. Please remember that you cannot request
more than one party’s ballot.

elections office. http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_d.htm

information?

from one election to another. It is best to vote in the correct polling place.

Q: How do I find out more about Meg’s plan to rebuild California?
