Register to Vote Online in California, Starting Today
Eligible voters in California can now register to vote online, starting today. The online form isn’t going to win any design awards, but it works: 3,000 Californians registered within its first 12 hours of availability. A voter’s identity must be confirmed by matching a state ID or driver’s license with a date of birth and the last four digits of a Social Security number. A dozen states already offer online voter registration and, this year, Washington state allowed registration via a Facebook app. The deadline to register to vote in the November election is Oct. 22.
