Additional Voting Options

Vote by Mail (VBM)

LA County has implemented a new and improved Vote by Mail (VBM) packet. The new VBM packet will include a full-face ballot, return envelope, secrecy sleeve and “I Voted” sticker.  We begin mailing VBM ballots to all registered voters 29 days prior to Election Day (October 5). Voters can track their ballot’s status at Where’s My Ballot at California.ballottrax.net

 

Vote by Mail (VBM) Drop-Off

We continue to offer VBM voters the option to drop off their ballot in-person in a secured ballot box prior to Election Day. There will be over 400 secured locations spread throughout the County. Drop off locations will be available beginning October 5. For locations and hours please visit LAVote.net.

 

Conditional Voter Registration

Eligible Los Angeles County residents who miss the October 19 registration deadline for the November 3 General Election can still vote at any Vote Center in L.A. County. Under California Election Law, Conditional Voter Registration (CVR) allows a prospective voter to conditionally register and cast a ballot.

Voting FAQ

1. What if I just moved and did not re-register? Will I be eligible to vote?

  • If you were previously registered in Los Angeles County and have not re-registered since you moved within the County's borders, you can vote at the polling place for your new address. You will be asked to vote a provisional ballot and provide your new address and your previous address on the provisional ballot envelope.

2. I am a college student living on or around campus, away from home. Can I register with my college residence address?

  • Like all eligible citizens, any college student may register to vote using their college residence address or may choose to use their family residence. California law (Elections Code Section 2025) allows college students to establish domicile or legal residence where they attend school if they so desire.

3. I did not vote in the last election. Do I need to re-register?

  • No. You are registered to vote as long as you remain at the same address and you will continue to receive election materials in the mail. However, if you move to a different address or have not voted in the last several elections, you may be sent a notice requesting that you either confirm that you have not moved or provide current residence address information. Your registration may be cancelled for failure to respond to an address confirmation mailing or if you have not voted in any elections occurring between the date of the mailing and two consecutive federal general elections.

4. I speak another language. How can I register?

  • If you need the voter registration form in a different language, we can assist you. The RR/CC provides voter registration forms in 10 different languages in compliance with federal and state laws: Chinese, English, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese.

  • To request multilingual election materials, call (800) 481-8683.​
