    Same Day Registration: Voters can ‘conditionally’ register and vote a provisional ballot during this time.

    October 22-November 5, 2024

    Same Day Voter Registration, known as Conditional Voter Registration in state law, is a safety net for Californians who miss the deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration information for an election.

    Eligible citizens who need to register or re-register to vote within 14 days of an election can complete this process to register and vote at their county elections office, a satellite office polling place or vote center. Their ballots will be processed and counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.

     

    Primary and General Election Dates

    California Primary Election Date:

    March 5, 2024

    Federal Election Date: (polls shall be open from 7:00am-8:00pm)

    Voting by Mail:

    All active registered voters will receive a vote-by-mail ballot.

    If you failed to receive a vote-by-mail ballot or have lost or destroyed your original vote-by-mail ballot, and you are unable to vote in person at the polls, you may apply in writing for a late vote-by-mail ballot. For more information, including a sample application, please visit the Secretary of State’s website at:
