California Voter Registration Reaches Record High Ahead of Primary
RIVERSIDE (CNS) - As voters across Southern California prepare to cast
ballots in Tuesday's primary election, a record 23.1 million Californians
are registered to vote, according to figures released today by the Secretary of
State's Office.
The latest Report of Registration, released by Secretary of State
Shirley N. Weber, found that 23,155,447 eligible Californians were registered
to vote as of May 18, the highest total in state history.
``California's record voter registration numbers show that our
democracy is alive and well, powered by millions of Californians who are
excited to take part in shaping both the future and values that strengthen our
state,'' Weber said in a statement. ``Our voters are not only staying engaged,
they are stepping forward with purpose.''
Democrats continue to make up the largest share of the state's
electorate, with nearly 10.4 million registered voters, or 44.9% of the total.
Republicans account for about 5.8 million voters, or 24.96%, while 5.28 million
voters, or 22.82%, are registered with no party preference.
The report also found 965,068 voters registered with the American
Independent Party, 231,107 registered Libertarians, 154,305 Peace and Freedom
Party members and 113,790 Green Party voters.
Eligible Californians who have not yet registered to vote may still
participate in Tuesday's election through same-day, or conditional, voter
registration, which is available at vote centers throughout the state,
officials said.
Voters who are unsure of their registration status can check online
through the Secretary of State's Office at http://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov.
