Los Angeles — City Clerk Patrice Y. Lattimore reminds eligible residents to register to vote in the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election. To be eligible to vote, a person must be a citizen of the United States, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not in prison for a felony. Registered voters who have moved or changed their names since the last election, or would like to change their political party affiliation, must also re-register to vote. The deadline to register to vote is this Monday, October 19, 2026.
“City Clerk Patrice Y. Lattimore encourages all City voters to register before October 19 to receive a Vote-By-Mail ballot and to make a plan to vote early — either by mailing your completed ballot well in advance or by placing it in an official Ballot Drop Box location across the County.”
