The deadline for Californians to register to vote or update their voter registration in order to participate in the Nov. 3 general election has passed.

Voters who missed the Oct. 19 deadline will still have the option of utilizing same-day voter registration, but will have to do so in person at their county elections office or at any in-person voting location.

Californians must update their voter registration if they have moved permanent addresses, changed their legal name or want to update their political party preference.

“If you are unsure of your voter registration status, you can verify it at voterstatus.sos.ca.gov,” California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said.

Voters who participate in same-day registration will be asked to fill out a voter registration form and be provided a ballot. Their ballots will be counted once the county office has completed the voter registration verification process. Voters can complete the same-day voter registration process all the way through Election Day on Nov. 3.
