<DIV><FONT size=4>My recollection is that one can register to vote in an
election in California up to fifteen (15) days before the election. As a
general rule, I would not want individuals to register Green just for the
purpose of qualifying someone onto our Primary Election ballot when you know
they do not intend to do so for any other reason. This is exactly one of
the tactics that can be used to put "ringers" and "sabateurs" on our ballot and
is another example of our vulnerability as a small party where we do not have a
NOTA option and often have only one candidate (if any) on our Primary Election
ballot.
