- Your political party affiliation has changed.
The deadline to register to vote in California for the March 5, 2024 Presidential Primary Election is February 20, 2024. If you missed the deadline to apply, you can go to a polling place or vote center to register. You will be able to register and vote on the same day - all the way up through Election Day.
If you are not sure if you are registered to vote, forgot where you registered, or want to change your political party preference, you can do so here.
While we know that not everyone may be eligible to vote, your voice still matters. Share the issues that are important to you with your friends and family members. Or, better yet, make your voice heard to your local state or federal representative (senator or congressperson). Everyone can engage in critical dialogue about candidates, legislation, and statewide propositions. Every voice is needed in our community!
