Registration Deadlines

You must submit your application to an official voter registration agency or mail it no later than 30 days prior to an election in which you wish to vote. The postmark on a mail-in application will be considered the submission date.
If you completed your application at a voter registration drive, the organizers must submit it to the county clerk or Secretary of State’s office within 21 days of the date on the application or no later than 30 days prior to the next election.
If you submit your application close to an election registration deadline, you are strongly advised to follow up on your registration status with your county clerk before Election Day.
If an election deadline is looming, there is one method of application that will ensure your eligibility: apply in person with your county clerk.
If you have not received verification from your county clerk, be sure to confirm your registration BEFORE Election Day.
