The Homeless,People Charged but not Convicted,Probationers,Former Parolees Can Register & Vote!!

At the California Secretary of State's website (www.sos.ca.gov), a "flyer" ["My Vote: A Voting Guide for Currently or Formerly Incarcerated Californians"] says
(1) People in a local jail as the result of a misdemeanor conviction can register and vote;
(2) People that have completed parole for a felony conviction can register and vote;
(3) People on probation can register and vote;
(4) People charged but not yet convicted can register and vote

.....

The Homeless (people without an address due to foreclosures and or evictions) can register and vote; on the voter registration card there is a field under No. 6 which says "If you do not have a street address, describe where you live (Cross streets, Route,N,S,E,W)". The "mailing address" may be tricky, but general delivery at the local post office might work, if a reliable friend's or family member's address do not (or place of work).

NOVEMBER 18th IS THE LAST DAY TO GET YOUR REGISTRATION IN-- You have until 15 days before the election to get your voter registration card in--the last day is October 18. You can get a registration card at the post office, the DMV, most state officers, public libraries and obviously the Voter Registrars' office--call Blogger Bob if you need a registration card at 760-256-0603. I will try to find someone who will get you one!!

REMEMBER: Provisional ballot--request one if you believe you are registered correctly but not on your local precinct list or you did not receive your ballot.
