In California, the deadline to register to vote for an election is 15 days before Election Day, so for the Nov. 7 general election that means the last day to register is Monday, Oct. 23. You can register to vote by contacting the elections department office at 223-6465 or stopping by the departments offices at 12600 Airport Rd- just follow the signs on the building. Voters please note: In Amador County if you are one of the thousands of residents whom vote absentee and you decide to return your voted absentee ballot by mail, you will need 63-cent postage this year because the lengthy ballot will weigh slightly more than 1 ounce.
