Here are the latest updates on voter registration in the U.S. and related guidance you might find useful.

What’s new

Key actions for you in Los Angeles, CA

• Check your registration status: Visit California’s official voter registration portal or the California Secretary of State website to confirm you’re registered and to verify your address and party affiliation (if applicable) for local and statewide elections.
• Update information if needed: If you’ve moved, changed your name, or wish to switch parties (where applicable), update your registration online or by submitting the required forms before the deadline.
• Register or re-register if you’re not already: If you’re eligible but not yet registered, you can typically register online, by mail, or in person at county elections offices. In California, online registration is available up to a few days before the election, with same-day registration often possible at designated locations on or near Election Day in some counties.
• Learn about ID requirements: California generally does not require a photo ID to vote in presidential elections, but some situations or non-standard ballots may prompt ID requests. If you’re voting by mail, ensure your ballot is returned by the deadline and follow the postage or drop-off instructions.
• Locate your local elections office: For questions about deadlines, ballot drop-off locations, or to request assistance, contact the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk or visit their official site.

Tips to stay informed

• Sign up for local election notices: Many counties offer email or text updates about registration deadlines, upcoming elections, and ballot information.
• Check for statewide changes: Registration deadlines and requirements can shift with legislation or emergency rules, so verify details on official state sites close to elections.
• Use official sources only: To avoid misinformation, rely on government or clearly official election websites for registration and voting information.
