Topline:
We’re only about two weeks away from the 2022 General Election, but the deadline to register to vote online is today, Monday Oct. 24 — and that can affect when your ballot gets counted. Here’s what you need to know.
Can I still vote if I miss the deadline? Yes! California allows for same-day registration at any vote center in your county up to and through Election Day. Vote centers in L.A. County open on Saturday, Oct. 29.
How do I know if I’m already registered? You can check to see if you're registered at the California Secretary of State’s website. You can also call 1-800-345-VOTE (8683) or email elections@sos.ca.gov. Make sure your home address is correct.
Why does today matter? If you register after today’s deadline, you’ll do so conditionally and cast a provisional ballot. Those are counted after election officials have confirmed your voter information. If you want to get your vote counted faster, register to vote today.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
