Why should I register to vote, and help friends and family to do so?
In 2008, 6 million Americans didn't vote because they missed a registration deadline or didn’t know how to register. Don’t let you or someone you know be left out!
If I have moved since the last election, or recently turned 18, do I need to register to vote?
Yes, you do!
How can I register to vote?
Pick up a voter registration form from the Livermore Public Library, the Livermore Post Office, or go online at: http://www.vote411.org
What is the deadline for registering by mail?
Your registration must be postmarked no later than October 22, 2012.
What do our Catholic bishops say about the ballot issues?
Plenty! On their website for the California Catholic Conference (http://www.cacatholic.org), our bishops have prepared brief summaries of the text and the arguments of the proponents and opponents of the 11 propositions which will appear on California’s November 6, 2012 ballot.
Each contains summaries of the pro and con arguments, as well as relevant Catholic social teaching. In addition, our bishops are specifically endorsing Prop 34 SAFE California Act to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment without possibility of parole, and Prop 35 to fight human trafficking..
