Missed the Deadline to Register to Vote
On January 1, 2017, Conditional Voter Registration (CVR) became effective in California. Under this new law, eligible voters who missed the 15 day registration deadline have the opportunity to come to the Registrar of Voters Office or any vote center between 14 days prior to Election Day and the day of the Election, and conditionally register to vote.
This process is called Conditional Voter Registration (CVR).
