      Don’t Forget to Vote!

      by lharrisOctober 14, 2022

      How do I vote?

      To register to vote in California, you must:

      • be a United States citizen
      • be a resident of California
      • be at least 18 years old or older on Election Day
      • not be currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony
      • not be currently found to be mentally incompetent to vote by a court

      What can I vote for?

      View the people and issues you will be voting for and on in this election.

      CAL Matters: What you need to know about the November 8 election from a non-partisan, non-profit news source.


      Where do I vote?

      You can vote EARLY: You can pick up and/or vote a vote-by-mail ballot at a location near you.

      OR you can vote on Election Day. Find out where here.

      What should I bring with me to vote?             

      • If you choose to vote in person and you've voted in California before, you don't need to show ID.
      • If you're a first-time voter in a federal election who registered by mail, and did not include your driver's license number, California ID number, or the last 4 digits of your Social Security number on your registration, you may be asked to provide ID when you vote. Acceptable forms include:                    
        • copy of a recent utility bill
        • sample ballot booklet you received from your county elections office or another document sent to you by a government agency
        • U.S. passport
        • driver's license
        • official state identification card
        • student identification card showing your name and photograph
        • Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to vote a provisional ballot. (source: Howto.vote)

      The day after.
