Voting & Elections:
My Vote. My Health.
An initiative dedicated to increasing the participation of Latino voters in California with an emphasis on our six target regions– Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Sonoma, Fresno, and San Jose– to play a key role in this election cycle by ensuring that both patients and the communities surrounding our clinics, whom we serve, are engaged in the process and empowered to turn out to vote both during the primary and general election cycle.
California Secretary of State
California residents can check if they are registered to vote, where they are registered to vote, their political party preference, their language preference for election materials, the status of their vote-by-mail or provisional ballot, their polling place, information about upcoming state and local elections, and more. For California residents who want to be voters, you can register to vote online by clicking here. California residents aged 16 or 17 can also pre-register to vote.
