GOOD NEWS! You may REGISTER TO VOTE up through Election Day — in person at your county elections office, polling place, or vote center, where you will be provided a provisional ballot. ‘Provisional’ just means that the counting of your ballot will be on hold until your registration application is verified.
You do need to register to vote in person at at any Voting Location. If you go to your assigned location, then your ballot will be sure to include all the contests on which you’re allowed to vote. Go to the Secretary of State website to find your polling place. Find the Official Voter Information Guide from the California Secretary of State online at voterguide.sos.ca.gov.
You have four ways to cast a voted ballot this election. By 8 p.m. Tuesday, November 5, voted ballots must be postmarked or dropped off in one of these ways: Vote-by-Mail; a Mail Ballot Drop-Box Location; an Early Vote Site; or a Polling Place.
If you are in line at a voting location by 8 p.m. on Election Day you have the right to vote.
In addition to voting by mail or at a mail ballot drop-box location, the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters office will be open for early voting on weekdays beginning Monday, October 7, through Tuesday, November 5 (and Saturday, November 2). Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 5.
