Voter Registration & Civic Engagement

In the primary election, you vote for who you want to represent your party in the November General Election.

In addition, there are ballot measures and office positions to consider (Alameda County and Contra Costa County).

Go to https://registertovote.ca.gov/?t=s to register to vote or confirm your registration status. Be sure to update your registration if you’ve moved, changed your name, or wish to change your political party preference.

Visit I Side With, a non-partisan website that shows how your political beliefs match with political parties and candidates.

You will be given a nonpartisan ballot containing only the names of candidates for nonpartisan offices and any ballot measures to be voted on during the primary election.

The League of Women Voters' Easy Voter Guide provides non-biased, non-partisan information. Check out the links in the Voting Resources section for more.

While we know that not everyone may be eligible to vote, your voice still matters. Share the issues that are important to you with your friends and family members. Or, better yet, make your voice heard to your local state or federal representative (senator or congressperson). Everyone can engage in critical dialogue about candidates, legislation, and statewide propositions. Every voice is needed in our community!
