Registration

To be eligible to vote in an election, you must have registered 15 days before Election Day. You can register to vote online or by mailing a
completed voter registration form (found in most government offices).

Voter Eligibility

You may register to vote if you are:

• A citizen of the United States.

• At least 18 years of age or older on or before Election Day.

• Not found mentally incompetent by a court of law.

You are not:

• Serving a state prison term for a felony conviction in a County jail under contract between state and local officials.

• On parole/probation for a felony conviction as a condition of your release from prison/jail.

What if I just moved and did not re-register?

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.

Vote by Mail

Any registered voter may vote using a vote-by-mail ballot instead of going to the polls on Election Day. California law also allows any registered voter to become a permanent vote-by-mail voter. 

Voter Identification

The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) states that individuals registering to vote for the first time in the state/jurisdiction must provide either a valid California driver's license or state ID card number. Applicants who do not have either can provide the last four digits of their Social Security number. If the voter provides a driver's license or state ID number that can be matched to a state record, then the voter will not be required to show ID when she/he votes.
