People who don’t have a driver’s license or ID card number can still register to vote online but will need to complete additional steps.
Californians can check this website to see if they are a registered voter in the state if they aren’t sure.
If you miss this deadline, don’t fret, California allows same-day voter registration in person at various polling sites for early voting and on election day.
Teenagers between 16 and 17 can complete a pre-registration form, allowing them to vote on their 18th birthday.
