Registration and Voting Deadlines

In California, voters have the option for same-day registration, which allows them to register in person up until Election Day. Once registered, active voters should receive their vote-by-mail ballots automatically, simplifying the voting process. If individuals are uncertain about their registration status or have not received their mail ballot, they can check their status online through the Secretary of State’s website. This recent flexibility aims to encourage greater participation in elections, especially among those who may have missed earlier registration deadlines.
