The words "undeclared" and "independent" are not to be found in the CA registration process.

Here are the valid registrations to vote for Bernie Sanders:

1. You are a registered Democrat. You will be given or mailed a Dem party ballot.

2. You are a registered "No Party Preference" (NPP) voter, and you REQUEST the Democratic Party primary ballot at your polling place.**


Caveat: Do not accidentally register for the "American Independence Party." A lot of people have made this mistake. Just forget the word "independent" when you register.

If you are a Green or anything else, you need to do one or the other: Democratic or NPP (and request the Dem ballot).

The deadline is May 23 to change your registration.



**(--As an NPP, REQUEST the Dem ballot at your polling place, or REQUEST the Dem ballot for mail-in voting, but I don't know the deadline for requesting the Dem ballot for mail-in).
