Deadline nears for LA Voters to register to receive vote-by-mail ballots

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles residents who are U.S. citizens and at least 18 years old on Election Day must register to vote by Monday in order to receive a ballot in the mail for the June 7 primary election, the Los Angeles City Clerk said in a reminder to the public.

People can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov. People who want to check their voter registration status can visit voterstatus.sos.ca.gov.

People who register by Monday will automatically receive a vote-by- mail ballot. To return the ballot, people can mail it by June 7, drop it off at a Los Angeles County vote center or in an official vote-by-mail drop box location, which can be found at locator.lavote.gov/locations/vbm.

Those who miss the deadline can still register at any L.A. County vote center during the 11-day voting period. Once registered, voters will be given a Conditional Voter Registration ballot. The ballot will be counted once it is verified. More information about the Conditional Voter Registration process is available at https://bit.ly/3lsQ9D2.
