Yes, in California, voters can conditionally register and vote after the 15-day voter registration deadline at this location. For more information please go to Same Day Voter Registration.

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, polling place, or vote center. Their ballots will be processed and counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.

Visit caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov for a list of voting locations where you can complete the Same Day Voter Registration Process. 

To register on election day, use our polling place lookup tool to find your local polling location.

Californians are not required to show identification at their polling place, unless a voter is voting for the first time. If a voter is voting for the first time, bring a government issued form of  identification with you. For more information on identification to use when you vote for the first time visit the Secretary of State or call their toll-free voter hotline at 1-800-345-VOTE (8683).

• Federal and state law require all counties to have accessible ways to vote, which include access to parking, marked paths to the polling place, and accessible entrances and exits. County officials must also ensure polling places are easy to use, by being equipped with accessible voting machines that have touch and audio capabilities. Polling places must also have wheelchair accessible voting booths, large print instructions, and magnified glasses. 
• Voters can ask for special assistance while filing out their ballot, but remember no one can tell you how to vote. Your Vote is Your Power. 
• If voters experience trouble or issues while voting because of accessibility or assistance issues, call the Disabilities Rights California hotline at 1-888-569-7955.

Californians now have the ability to track their ballot while it’s in the mail, and know when it’s received and counted. Making sure your ballot is received and counted has never been easier. Visit the ballot tracker tool to track your ballot.
