This year’s presidential
primary is attracting lots of voter interest and is expected to motivate many
young people to vote for the first time. If you are a first time voter, or if your address has
changed, the last date to register for this year’s Presidential Primary
Election is January 22. Many folks in Amador County
will be voting by mail. To vote by mail you must submit your written request by
January 29. Sheldon D. Johnson, Registrar of Voters, announced today that the
Election Department commenced mailing out vote by mail ballots on Monday,
January 7. Your vote-by-mail ballot must be received in the Elections
Department or at any polling place in Amador County
no later than 8:00pm on the day of election, February 5.
If you are not affiliated with any political party, but are
registered to vote, you
can vote for nominated candidates of the American Independent Party and the
Democratic Party in this year’s President Primary Election. If you did
not request a specific party’s ballot, you will be given a non-partisan ballot
containing only the names of candidates for non-partisan offices and measures
to be voted on. The Registrar of Voters also announced that the state pamphlet
on the first three ballot propositions was mailed to voters in December, 2007
by the Secretary of State’s office.
The
supplemental state pamphlet for the four gaming compact propositions will be
mailed to voters soon. And good news this year for the
visually impaired, the Official Voter Information Guide can be ordered in a
large-print format, and an audio-cassette version in English, Spanish,
Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Japanese and Korean. To order the large-print or
audio-cassette versions, please visit the website at: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_vig_altformts.htm, or call
the Voter Hotline at 1-800-345-VOTE (8683). Registrar of Voters Sheldon Johnson will be with us here at
TSPN on Wednesday to talk about the upcoming election.
