Residents vote in Riverside County Supervisorial District 3 elections, California State Assembly and Senate district races, U.S. Congressional elections, statewide ballot measures, and special district elections for the Desert Water Agency and other local service districts. California voters can register online at https://registertovote.ca.gov/ through the California Secretary of State's system. The deadline to register for an election is 15 days before Election Day, though California offers conditional voter registration allowing eligible citizens to register and vote provisionally through Election Day at vote centers or the Riverside County elections office. Registration requires a California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. The California Motor Voter Act automatically registers eligible citizens who conduct transactions at the DMV unless they opt out. Residents can find their assigned polling place or vote center by entering their address at www.voteinfo.net or by calling (951) 486-7200. Riverside County transitioned to a vote center model, allowing voters to cast ballots at any vote center in Riverside County during the 11-day period before and including Election Day, rather than being restricted to a precinct polling place. Vote centers offer same-day registration, replacement ballots, accessible voting machines, and multilingual assistance. California is a permanent vote-by-mail state where all registered voters automatically receive mail-in ballots for every election. Ballots are mailed approximately 29 days before Election Day. Voters can return mail ballots by U.S. Mail (postmarked by Election Day), at official drop boxes located throughout Riverside County, at any vote center, or at the Registrar of Voters office. California does not require an excuse or reason to vote by mail. Voters can track their mail ballot status at https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/.
