Check your voter registration

You can’t vote if you’re not registered!

Over 21 million voter registration records were removed from voter rolls between the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election. Checking your registration status now gives you enough time to register — or re-register — before your state’s deadline. So if you’re not sure, check! And if you are sure? Check anyway!

If you enter your information and don’t see a match or are listed as inactive, please register now to make sure you can vote.

Common reasons people aren’t found in the voter file:

  • Your name is spelled differently than on file
  • Your address has changed since you last registered

If any of this sounds like you, go ahead and re-register with your current information. It’s a quick way to ensure you can vote in the coming election.

California has various voter registration deadlines:

CALIFORNIA
  • Online: Register by Mon, Oct 19
  • In person: Register by Tue, Nov 3 (same-day registration)
  • By-mail: Postmark by Mon, Oct 19 (mail it by Mon, Oct 12!)

Deadlines and rules come from your state’s election office. Checking takes about a minute, even if you’re sure you’re registered.
