The California General Election is coming up on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 and it’s more important than ever to make sure we’re registered to vote and to encourage our friends and family to register too. To be eligible to vote on November 5th, your registration must be postmarked or submitted electronically no later than October 21, 2024. Registering to vote online is super easy and takes just a few moments.

You may think you're already registered, but it's a good idea to double check. If you've moved recently and your DMV record has an old address, or if you do not have an in-state ID, or you have changed your name you must register to vote. Check your registration status online here.

There are many important races on the November 5th ballot, including statewide & local positions, the U.S. presidency, and various ballot initiatives.

All active registered voters in California will receive a vote-by-mail ballot for the November 5th General Election. Your county elections office will begin mailing ballots by October 7, 2024. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received by November 12, 2024.

To help keep things safe for voters and election workers, consider voting early (many locations will be open for at least 4 days beginning the Saturday before Election Day) or skipping the line by dropping off a completed ballot at a secure ballot drop box or voting location. Vote centers open for early in-person voting in all Voter’s Choice Act counties beginning on October 26, 2024. Find early voting and vote-by-mail drop off locations here.
