If you missed the May 23 voter registration deadline, you can still get Same Day Voter Registration. Eligible Californians who need to register or re-register to vote within 14 days of an election can complete this process to register and vote at their county elections office, polling place, or vote center. Those ballots will be processed and counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.
