Check to see if you're already registered to vote.

In the primary election, voters who have registered for a specific political party will automatically receive a ballot, but if you've registered as "No Party Preference," you'll have to take an extra step to vote in the primary. Check out the California Secretary of State's How to Vote for U.S. President to learn how to vote in the primary election.

If not, you can easily register to vote online! And if you are 16 years old, you can pre-register to vote when you become 18.

In person voting: Vote centers in Los Angeles County open for in-person voting beginning February 24, 2024. Locate the Vote Centers in your area.

Same Day Voter Registration, known as Conditional Voter Registration in state law, is a safety net for eligible Los Angeles County residents who miss the October 24th deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration information for an election.

How this works:

• Any eligible voter can go to any Vote Center in the County during the 11-day voting period. 
• Once at the Vote Center, the eligible voter will complete the CVR application.
• The voter is then issued a CVR ballot to take to the new fully accessible Ballot Marking Device.
• The voter's experience reading and marking their ballot will be the same; however, after the voter prints their paper ballot, they will be instructed to return their paper ballot to an Election Worker.
• As soon as the CVR application is verified, their ballot will be counted, and the registration will become active. 
• The voter may then vote in any future election in which they are eligible to participate.
