RivCo Voter Info Guides For Nov 2 General Election Are On The Way

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA -- About 317,000 voter information guides started going out to Riverside County voters on Sept. 29 for the general election set for Nov. 2.

Material in the voter information guide will help voters make informed choices. Voters may mark their selections on the voter information guide and use it to help them complete their official ballot.

The Registrar of Voters recommends that voters review the materials before casting an official ballot. If voters don't receive an information guide in the mail, it will be available online at www.voteinfo.net starting on Oct. 4, 2021. Voters also may call the registrar’s office at (951) 486-7200 or (800) 773-8683 to request a mailed copy.

The Nov. 2 election is not a countywide election, so some areas of the county are not included in the election. If you have any questions about your eligibility to vote, please contact the registrar’s office at (951) 486‐7200.

A Spanish-language version of the guide will be available at www.voteinfo.net and a copy can be mailed upon request.

Conditional voter registration (CVR) extends the existing 15-day registration deadline to eligible voters, allowing them to register and vote 14 days prior to an election through Election Day. An eligible voter would need to register directly at any polling place, to conditionally register to vote and vote a provisional ballot.
