Riverside, CA residents, get ready to cast your votes from the comfort of your home. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters has announced that over a million vote-by-mail ballots for the upcoming March 5 Presidential Primary Election are in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service, ready to be delivered to voters, according to their official statement released yesterday.
Registrar of Voters Art Tinoco urged, "The Riverside County Registrar of Voters encourages all eligible voters to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming Presidential Primary Election," adding that, "Every vote makes a difference in shaping our collective, future." If you want your voice heard, ensure your ballot is postmarked by March 5 and received within seven days from the election to be counted. And for those who snub snail mail, ballots can be dropped off at various locations or handed directly at vote centers, with no postage necessary.
Early voting has already kicked off at the registrar's office where voters can show up on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on those pesky county holidays, of course. And if you're more of the last-minute type, you can also pop into the registrar's office on Election Day between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. to cast your ballot in person.
Not sure if you're on the voter list or need to update your information? You've got until February 20 to get everything sorted out. You can sign up or make changes online, just hit up registertovote.ca.gov, or if you're old school, give the Riverside County Registrar a dial at (951) 486-7200 and they'll sort you out with a paper application.
