Today is deadline to vote in Nov. 3 election
Monday, October 19 is the deadline for voters to register and be eligible to cast a ballot in the Nov. 3, 2015 consolidated general election.
Registration applications submitted online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov prior to midnight will be honored, as will paper forms postmarked by the deadline, according to the Riverside County Registrar of Voters office.
Paper applications are available at the Riverside County Registrar of Voters office, DMV offices and post offices.
The registrar’s office is located at 2724 Gateway Drive in Riverside. It will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. to accept registration forms. In order to make sure they’re received in time and your personal information is safeguarded, officials encourage you to personally deliver or mail completed forms to the registrar’s office, while keeping the deadline in mind.
California residents may register to vote if they are U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, not adjudicated as mentally incompetent and not precluded because of certain criminal convictions, according to the registrar’s office.
You must re-register after moving, changing names or changing your political party preference.
The November 3 election isn’t a countywide election, so some areas of the county are not included in the election. Call the registrar’s office at 951-486-7200 if you have questions about your eligibility to vote.
