| Register to Vote Today! If you need to register to vote for the first time or update your address, name, or political party, it’s easy and can be completed online. You may also use a paper Voter Registration Form that can be found at the OC Registrar of Voters, public libraries, city and county offices, California Department of Motor Vehicles offices, and at U.S. Post Offices. If you moved since the last election and want to make sure we don’t mail a ballot to your old address, please update your registration by September 6. The deadline to newly register and to be mailed a ballot is October 21. If you miss the regular voter registration deadline, California permits same-day registration and voting, also known as Conditional Voter Registration. You can still register and vote in this election at any Vote Center when they open on October 26. Register to vote or update your registration today: ocvote.gov/register |

| Maintaining Accurate Voter Rolls Voter registration records are updated daily based on information provided by voters and official government sources. These updates include new registrations, changes of address, selections of a political party preference, requests for election materials in a language other than English, and notifications that a voter has died. The OC Registrar of Voters also regularly compares the information on the voter rolls to databases kept by third parties such as consumer credit reporting agencies, review voter registration files for potentially duplicate records, and encourage voters to re-register when we notice a change in their signatures. These updates add up to more than 700,000 registration changes annually in Orange County, increasing to more than 1 million in a Presidential Election year. Learn more: ocvote.gov/list-maintenance |
