Voter Information

Voter Registration

In California, the deadline to register to vote for any election is 15 days before Election Day, so please register early!

Military & Overseas

The information and resources on this page are intended to make participating in elections as easy and rewarding for you as possible. Here, you will learn the basic steps to become a military or overseas voter so you are eligible to vote when you are absent from your county while serving and/or living overseas and discover how state and federal laws work to protect your precious right to vote.

Vote by Mail

County elections officials will mail vote-by-mail ballots to all active registered voters. Any registered voter may vote using a vote-by-mail ballot instead of going to the polls on Election Day.

When registering to vote, you may affiliate with any qualified political party, you may affiliate with a political party which has not qualified in California, or you may decline to state a political party.
