Pre-register to Vote

Instead, it allows eligible Californians ages 16 or 17 to complete the online voter registration form providing sufficient time and opportunity to get ready to vote. To learn more about pre-registration please visit the CA Secretary of State's website.
Voting While Incarcerated
Many Californians incarcerated in Los Angeles County Jails are still eligible to vote. More information on inmate voting can be found on the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk website.
