You can still register to vote or change your party affiliation. California has same-day registration; just walk into a voting center and you can get it done there.

Vote-by-mail ballots are due today. They must be postmarked by March 3 in order to be counted. You can drop them in a mailbox, at a voting center or a vote-by-mail drop box. Here's how to find locations near you.

We're answering all your questions. Have a question about voting? Here are all the ones we've answered so far, but you can ask us anything below and our Voter Game Plan team will do our best to find answers.
