California vote by mail change address
To change your address for vote by mail in California, you can follow these steps:
- Update your voter registration: You can update your voter registration online through the California Secretary of State's website. Go to registertovote.ca.gov and follow the prompts to update your address.
- Fill out a new voter registration application: If you prefer to fill out a paper application, you can download and print a new voter registration application from the California Secretary of State's website. Fill it out and mail it to your county elections office.
- Contact your county elections office: If you're unable to update your voter registration online or by mail, you can contact your county elections office directly to request a change of address. You can find your county elections office contact information on the California Secretary of State's website.
Important deadlines:
- If you're changing your address within 15 days of an election, you must update your voter registration by the close of business on the 15th day before the election.
- If you're changing your address more than 15 days before an election, you can update your voter registration at any time.
Additional tips:
- Make sure to update your address with your county elections office before the next election to ensure you receive your vote-by-mail ballot at your new address.
- If you're moving to a new county, you'll need to register to vote in your new county and update your address with your new county elections office.
- If you're a military or overseas voter, you may need to update your address with the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) instead of your county elections office.
Remember to always verify your voter registration status and address with your county elections office to ensure you're eligible to vote in future elections.
