If you plan to make your voice heard in the upcoming general election, make sure to get registered. The voter registration deadline for the upcoming Nov. 7 general election is on Oct. 23. Persons wishing to register must be U.S. citizens, residents of Los Angeles County, not in prison or on parole for conviction of a felony, and at least 18 years of age by election day.
Voter registration forms are available throughout the county at approximately 1,230 locations, including libraries, fire stations, post offices and city clerk offices. Assistance in registering to vote is also provided by staff at the Department of Motor Vehicles and designated public social services agencies. LA County residents may telephone the RR/CC’s election information section at (562) 466-1310, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, to obtain information regarding locations near them to pick-up registration-by-mail forms.

The postage-paid forms will be mailed within a day after the request is received. To register to vote online, go to www.lavote.net and click on the “voter registration” icon.
