Election Update from the County Registrar of Voters
Published on Aug 20, 2020 12:41

Dear Riverside County Voter, 

In an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and in accordance with State Law, the Riverside County Registrar of Voters will be deploying a new election model for the upcoming November 3, 2020, General Election. This will offer our voters more ways and more days to vote safely. Each eligible registered voter for the November 3, 2020, General Election will receive a ballot by mail beginning Monday, October 5, 2020 in accordance with the Governors Executive Order. 

Voters can verify their voter registration at www.voterstatus.sos.ca.gov or register to vote at www.registertovote.ca.gov. 

• Your Vote-By-Mail ballot may be returned at any of our 80 secure Ballot Drop-Off locations that will be available beginning October 5, 2020 or via USPS (no postage required). 

• We are now operating nearly 120 Voter Assistance Centers throughout Riverside County. You can vote in-person at any location from October 31 – November 3, 2020. 

• You may track your ballot by registering at www.WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov. 

• A final list of the Ballot Drop-Off locations and Voter Assistance Centers will be posted at www.voteinfo.net on September 24, 2020. 

The Riverside County Registrar of Voters recommends that voters only use the in-person Voter Assistance Centers if absolutely necessary, as the generalized use of in-person voting presents risks to public health and safety in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing will be required when visiting a Voter Assistance Center and face coverings are strongly encouraged. 

Please feel free to contact the Riverside County Registrar of Voters at (951) 486-7200 with any questions or concerns regarding the upcoming November 3, 2020 General Election.
