ELECTION UPDATE: Monday is Last Day to Register for Nov. Voting

Riverside County residents must get their voter registration forms submitted by Oct. 22 to be eligible to vote on November 6.

If you'd like to have a voice in this November's general election, you'll have to be registered to vote by Monday.

Riverside County Registrar of Voters Kari Verjil sent out an announcement Tuesday reminding county residents that the deadline to register is this Monday, Oct. 22.

"Applications submitted online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov prior to midnight Monday will be honored, as will paper forms postmarked by the deadline," she said.

Also, the registrar's office will stay open until midnight that day to accept last minute voter registration forms.

"Because the forms contain personal information, and to help ensure they are received on time, the Registrar of Voters encourages voters to personally deliver or mail completed forms to the registrar’s office, while keeping the deadline in mind," Tuesday's announcement stated.

Remember-- you must re-register to vote if:

  • You have recently moved
  • You have changed names
  • You have changed your political party preference

The registrar's office is located at 2724 Gateway Drive in Riverside.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
