In an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and in accordance with State Law, the Riverside County Registrar of Voters will be deploying a new election model for the upcoming Nov. 3 General Election. This will offer our voters more ways and more days to vote safely. Each eligible registered voter for the Nov. 3 General Election will receive a ballot by mail beginning Monday, Oct. 5, 2020 in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order.
Voters can verify their voter registration at www.voterstatus.sos.ca.gov or register to vote at www.registertovote.ca.gov.
• Your Vote-By-Mail ballot may be returned at any of our 80 secure Ballot Drop-Off locations that will be available beginning Oct. 5 or via USPS (no postage required).
• We are now operating nearly 120 Voter Assistance Centers throughout Riverside County. You can vote in-person at any location from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3.
• You may track your ballot by registering at www.WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov.
• A final list of the Ballot Drop-Off locations and Voter Assistance Centers will be posted at www.voteinfo.net on Sept. 24.
The Riverside County Registrar of Voters recommends that voters only use the in-person Voter Assistance Centers if absolutely necessary, as the generalized use of in-person voting presents risks to public health and safety in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing will be required when visiting a Voter Assistance Center and face coverings are strongly encouraged.
Contact the Riverside County Registrar of Voters at 951-486-7200 with any questions or concerns regarding the upcoming Nov. 3 General Election.
