The Santa Barbara County Elections Office encourages all eligible citizens to register to vote in anticipation of the upcoming General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The last day to register to vote for the Nov. 3 General Election is Oct. 19.

“Registering to vote or verifying that your voter registration is accurate is important.” said Santa Barbara County Registrar of Voters Joe Holland.

To be eligible to vote, an individual must be a citizen of the United States and be at least 18 years of age on Election Day.

Voters can verify the accuracy of their voter registration, including residential and mailing addresses, at the California Secretary of State’s website, or Santa Barbara County Elections Office website.

For those who prefer to register to vote with a paper registration form, voter registration cards can be found in several locations including at elections offices, at most post offices and public libraries. The cards can be returned, postage free, to the Santa Barbara County Elections Office.
