Re-Registering to Vote

You must re-register to vote (by filling out new registration form) if:

You change your address within the county or move to another county in California
You change your name
You wish to affiliate (join) a political party or change your political party affiliation
You want to change where your ballot is being mailed

If you move within the same county, you may also send a letter to the County Election Official giving your old and new address and signing your name as you are registered.

If you are living at the same address, you do not need to re-register if you miss one election or many elections. Confirmation

Are you registered to vote? Only your county's elections office can tell you. To find out or to answer any other questions about your registration, call or email your county election office. Some county election web sites allow voters to check their registration and political party affiliation electronically. Deadlines

You may register at any time, but you must be registered on or before 15 days prior to the election in order to vote. A postmark on the 15th day prior to the election is acceptable.

If you register between 29 and 15 days priorto the election you will be sent a sample ballot only if there is time to process your registration. Otherwise you will receive a post card giving your polling place location. Sample ballots will be available at your polling place or online from your County Election Office website.
