(Redwood City) –San Mateo County's Chief Elections Officer, Warren Slocum, announced today that his office is expecting some last minute registration forms in the final days leading up to the April 23, 2007 voter registration deadline for citizens who live in the Pacifica School District and the Millbrae Elementary School District who wish to vote in the upcoming All-Mail Elections on May 8, 2007.

“All citizens must be aware that they must keep their voter information current in order to receive the right election materials, especially in an All-Mail Election,” said Slocum.

To be eligible to register to vote, a person must be: (1) a United States citizen; and (2) a California resident; and (3) at least 18 years of age on or before Election Day; and (4) not in prison or on parole for the conviction of a felony.
