“Just days away from the first recall election in nearly 20 years, it's only fitting we maintain record voter registration rates," Secretary Weber said. “Voter registration signals a healthy democracy, and my goal during this election cycle was to continue to remove barriers that might prevent voters from being able to exercise their most fundamental democratic right."

Conditional Voter Registration

“For voters who missed the online voter registration deadline, remember, it's not too late to participate in the Gubernatorial Recall Election. California created "Same Day Voter Registration" as a safety net, so voters could register to vote all the way up to Election Day and cast a ballot on the same day -- provisionally,” Secretary Weber said.
