There is no waiting period. You may register or re-register to vote at anytime. .To receive your ballot in the mail and included on the election rolls for in-person sign in, you must register no less than 15 days before the election.

After the 15-day deadline, eligible voters who have not registered may still vote in-person at the Elections Division or a Ventura County Vote Center. California has Same Day Voter Registration, known as Conditional Voter Registration (CVR) for those who miss the 15-day deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration information for an election. Eligible citizens can complete this process to register and vote at their county elections office or vote center. Those ballots will be processed and counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.

To become a registered voter, you must complete and return a Voter Registration Form. You can obtain this form from many state and local government offices including the DMV. You may also visit our office in the Government Center or call us at (805) 654-2664 and we will mail you a form.
