New voter sign-up card is unveiled
In hopes of making it easier and more inviting for people to register to vote, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen released a new registration card Wednesday with simpler language, shorter sentences and larger print.
“California’s old voter registration card looked more like an imposing tax form instead of a simple invitation to participate in democracy,” Bowen said. “The new card is inviting, it’s intuitive, and most of all, it’s a visual reminder that registering to vote is quick and easy.”
The last day for eligible Californians to register to vote in the Nov. 4 general election is Oct. 20.
The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot is Oct. 28.
