The Democratic Club will continue to focus on raising awareness about the importance of voting in the March 5 primary election. Beginning in September, volunteers will contact neighbors in their Mutuals to talk about the importance of the vote, especially in local races.

The club continues to schedule potential Democratic candidates as speakers at future club meetings held on the fourth Wednesday of every month. These meetings are open to all Leisure World registered Democrats and potential supporters, regardless of membership. The Voter Education program on the third Wednesdays of the month are also open to current and potential Democratic voters.

The California Secretary of State and the Orange County Registrar of Voters will begin mailing information guides for the primary election to all registered voters on Jan. 25. The Orange County election officials will begin distributing vote-by-mail ballots on Feb. 5. Early voting sites will be opened the same day.

••• The club’s information and Registration booth will be open on the first Tuesday of every month from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the Clubhouse 6 parking lot. Democrats and potential supporters are invited to stop by the booth to get more information about the club or to register to vote.
