| September 22 has been declared National Voter Registration Day – what better excuse to check your voter registration and make sure your residence and mailing address is accurate and up-to-date.
The deadline to register to vote in California for the upcoming Presidential Election is October 19. Registering prior to this deadline ensures that voters receive all the voter material they will need.
There are several ways to register. Forms are available online at SBCVote.com or RegisterToVote.ca.gov. Paper applications may be available at most U.S. Post Offices, Santa Barbara County Registrar of Voters Offices or the Department of Motor Vehicles. To verify voter registration status or update registration information, such as an address or party affiliation, go to SBCVote.com.
If a voter misses the October 19 registration deadline, they may use the conditional voter registration process through Election Day, and must go to the County Registrar of Voters office or a polling place to register and vote. Ballots cast conditionally will be processed once the Registrar of Voters Office has completed the voter registration verification process.
The three election offices in the county will be open for voting, voter registration and voter questions from October 5 through Election Day, November 3.
