Now, you might be wondering, "What if I've been convicted of a felony?" Don't worry, most people with felony convictions can still vote in California, as long as they're not currently in prison or on parole.
Registration Deadlines: Don't Miss Out!
The registration deadline for voting in California is usually 15 days before an election. But, why wait? You can register to vote at any time, and we recommend doing it as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute hassles.
