Conditional voter registration is a safety net for Californians who miss the deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration information. Voters can use the conditional voter registration process from the day after the deadline all the way through Election Day. Eligible citizens can go to their county election office, polling place, or vote center to register and vote conditionally. These ballots will be processed once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.

CONDITIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION AVAILABLE THROUGH ELECTION DAY 

Santa Clara County residents who missed the October 19th deadline for voter registration, can still register to vote with Conditional Voter Registration (CVR) offered at the Registrar of Voters Office, 1555 Berger Dr., Bldg. 2 in San Jose, CA October 20th through November 2nd - 8am to 5pm, and November 3rd - Election Day 7am to 8pm.

Conditional Voter Registration is also available October 31st to November 2nd 9am to 5pm, and November 3rd Election Day 7am to 8pm at any Santa Clara County Vote Center (CVR requires a voter to register and vote in person with a CVR provisional ballot)

Often, people make assumptions about the gender of another person based on the person’s appearance or name. These assumptions aren’t always correct. Using someone’s correct personal pronouns is a way to respect them and create an inclusive environment, just as using a person’s name can be a way to respect them.
