Registration Deadline Approaching and

Conditional Voter Registration to Begin

Monday, October 19, 2026, is the last day to register to vote, update voter's residential address or change party affiliation for the November 3, 2026, General Election. Residents are encouraged to register at https://registertovote.ca.gov/ or pick-up a voter registration card at any Sacramento Public Library, post office or the Voter Registration and Elections (VRE) Office at 7000 65th Street, Suite A, Sacramento, CA 95823. In order to be a registered voter, the voter registration form must be filled out completely, signed and postmarked by October 19, or hand-delivered to the VRE Office by 5:00 p.m. on October 19.

Conditional Voter Registration (CVR) begins Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Eligible residents who missed the October 19, registration deadline may complete a voter registration form available at the VRE Office or at any Vote Center. Upon completion of the form, a VRE representative will provide the individual with a CVR provisional ballot which must be voted at the time and location it is received. Once the registration form has been processed and eligibility is verified the CVR ballot is counted. Residents may check their voter registration status on the My Voter Portal app on our website.

For more information, contact VRE at (916) 875-6451, or use the toll-free voter assistance hotline at (800) 762-8019. The hotline has the ability to connect voters with disabilities with TTY (Text Telephone).
