Voting on Election Day? Here's what you need to know about your rights in California
Briefly

Under California law, residents must be registered to vote at least 15 days before Election Day. If you're not, you still can cast a ballot.
Provisional ballots allow voters to cast their vote even if their name isn’t on the registered voters list, ensuring their eligibility is verified later.
California offers same-day voter registration, allowing eligible voters to register at the polls and cast a provisional ballot on Election Day.
If you're in line when the polls close, you cannot be turned away at the polls in California, safeguarding voters' rights to vote.
A provisional ballot acts as 'fail safe voting,' allowing individuals to vote while election officials verify their registration status.
