Vote!

You can register in English, Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese,  Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai or Tiếng Việt Vietnamese

To register, you need

• Your California driver's license or California identification card number,
  
• The last four digits of your social security number, and
  
• Your date of birth.
  

Your information will be provided to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to retrieve a copy of your DMV signature.

If you do not have a California driver's license or California identification card, you can still use this form to apply to register to vote. However, you will need to take additional steps to complete your voter registration.
