Who Needs to Register?
You must re-register whenever you change your name, your address or your political party affiliation. Failure to do so will result in a delay at your new polling site on election day.
What is the Registration Deadline?
Mail in registrations must be postmarked on or before the third Friday before an election (October 16, 2020). You may register in person at the election office on or before the second Friday (October 2020) prior to the election. Remember to sign your mail-in (absentee ballots) and allow at least 7 days prior to election day on November 3, 2020.
Note: Political party enrollment is your choice, but in order to vote for a partisan candidate in a primary election, you must be enrolled in that political party. If you register nonpartisan, you will only be able to vote for ballot issues and nonpartisan candidates in the primary election.
Offices such as President, Governor, State and County officials are partisan, therefore if you register nonpartisan you will not be able to vote for them in a primary election. You may request a senatorial or congressional ticket of your choice if you are registered nonpartisan in a Primary Election. In General Elections everyone votes the same ballot.
