Registering to Vote

Post

Take the first step on your voting journey – Register!

There are some requirements you need to meet to register. As a Los Angeles County resident, you may register to vote:

  • If you are a citizen of the United States
  • If you are at least 18 years of age (or will be by the date of the next election)
  • Are not in prison or on parole for a felony conviction

In California, you may be eligible to pre-register to vote at age 16, and be active to vote once you turn 18 years old.

Important Notice: 

The last day to register to vote for the November 5, 2024 General Election was October 21, 2024.

Eligible citizens who missed the October 21 registration deadline to vote may complete the “Same Day” voter registration process through Election Day on November 5, 2024, at the local county elections office or any in-person voting location within LA county.
