Last Chance to Register to Vote in the June 5 Primary

With all the campaign commercials, stump speeches and kissing of babies, it might be difficult to actually remember to register to vote in California's upcoming June 5 primary election.

That's why Danville Patch is here to remind you that the deadline for voters looking to cast their ballots in the election season's first round is Monday, May 21.

Voter registration forms can be obtained at the City Clerk’s Office, the Contra Costa County Election Division, online through the California Secretary of State or by calling the City Clerk’s Office (925) 314-3401) to have a form mailed to you. Only registered voters can request a vote by mail ballot.

For those that wish to vote by mail, the deadline to submit a request for a vote by mail ballot is Tuesday, May 29 at 5 p.m.

Danville City Clerk Marie Sunseri said that residents could register to vote if they are:

• A citizen of the United States, and
• At least 18 years old at the time of the election, and
• Not in prison or parole for the conviction of a felony, and
• Not deemed mentally incompetent by a court.

Residents should re-register if they:

• Moved to a new permanent residence, or
• Changed their name, or
