When you register to vote, the information you provide on the form is entered into a database maintained by our office. This data identifies you as a qualified voter, eligible to vote in any countywide election or local election. In the United States the information you provide is based on the "honor system", which means proof of your citizenship is not verified. However, you sign the form under penalty of perjury, which means you could face criminal prosecution if you provided false information on your voter registration documents.

• A United States citizen and a resident of California (for information on voters in the military or overseas, please see Military and Overseas Voters),
