Can I Vote in This Election? To vote in an election, you must first be registered to vote. You can register to vote if you are:
- a U.S. citizen;
- a resident of California;
- will be 18 years or older on Election Day;
- not currently in prison or on parole for the conviction of a felony; and
- not found by a court to be “mentally incompetent.”
Even if you missed the voter registration deadline on May 21, 2018, you can still register all the way up to and through Election Day by visiting your county elections office. If you live in Napa, Nevada, Madera, Sacramento, or San Mateo County, you can visit any Vote Center to register and vote on the same day.
How Do I Know If I’m Registered to Vote? Check online to see if you are registered at www.voterstatus.sos.ca.gov
Do I Need to Vote On Every Item on the Ballot? No, you do not need to vote in every contest — you can leave any of them blank. If you make a mistake, you can request another ballot.
Do I Need to Show My Photo ID When Voting? In almost all instances, no. You only need to show documents before voting in California if you are voting for the first time and you did not include your driver’s license number, state ID number, OR Social Security Number when you registered to vote. Lots of documents will suffice; call your elections office in advance if you are concerned about your lack of identification.
