If you're planning to vote in the June 3 California primary, Monday is the deadline to register or update your address if you moved.
The new statewide "top two" primary system means that the top two candidates of any party will be on the fall ballot, so even though there are a bunch of powerful Democratic incumbents in the statewide offices right now, you have special say in this primary if you're an independent. And in any case, you should vote, it's good for you.
You can grab voter registration forms at the post office, the library, the DMV, or just do it online at registertovote.ca.gov.
