According to the Secretary of State’s Office, same-day voting can be done at local county elections offices or any in-person voting location.
Californians who take part in same-day registration, known as “conditional registration” – will be asked to fill out a voter registration form and will be provided a ballot.
Those ballots are counted once the county office has completed the voter registration verification process.

The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters told ABC7 News last week with already more than 6,000 ballots turned in so far, they say, they’re doing everything possible to protect each ballot.

The registrar of voters is urging everyone to make sure you
- Read all ballot instructions before filling it out
- Make sure you sign the back of it
- And if you’re mailing it in, it must be postmarked on or before Election Day
