California voting rules: questions and answers

Do I need an ID to vote in California?

In most cases California does not require voters to show identification at the polls. You may be asked for ID only if all of the following apply: you are voting for the first time in a federal election, you registered by mail or online, and you did not provide your California ID number or Social Security number when registering. If asked, you can show a photo or non-photo ID such as a California driver's license or state ID card, U.S. passport, student or military ID, official mail from a government agency, a paycheck or government check, or a utility bill or bank statement; the ID does not need to show your address or be government-issued. A voter who does not have ID may still vote a provisional ballot.

Who can register to vote in California?

To register to vote in California you must be a United States citizen and a resident of California, 18 years old or older on Election Day, not currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony, and not currently found mentally incompetent to vote by a court. Californians who are 16 or 17 and meet the other requirements may pre-register and are automatically registered on their 18th birthday. Registration is online at registertovote.ca.gov, by paper form or at the DMV; voters who miss the 15-day deadline can use Same Day Voter Registration at a county elections office or voting location.

Can I vote in California if I have a felony conviction?

In California you cannot register or vote only while you are currently serving a state or federal prison term for a felony conviction, including people serving a state prison sentence in a local detention facility or awaiting transfer to prison. Everyone else with a criminal record can register and vote, including people on parole, probation, mandatory supervision, post-release community supervision or federal supervised release, and people in county jail for a misdemeanor, awaiting trial, or serving a felony jail sentence. Once you finish serving your prison term your right to vote is restored, but you must register (or re-register) to vote.

Can I take time off work to vote in California?

Under California Elections Code section 14000, if you do not have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote in a statewide election, you may take off enough working time to vote, and up to two hours of that time is paid. The time off must be at the beginning or end of your regular work shift, whichever gives you the most free time to vote and the least time off from work, unless you and your employer agree otherwise. If you expect to need time off, you must notify your employer at least two working days before the election. Employers must post a notice of these rights at least 10 days before every statewide election.
