Eligible citizens who missed the voter registration deadline on Feb. 18 still have an opportunity to exercise their right to vote through the conditional voter registration process.
To qualify, individuals must complete and submit a voter registration application in person at the Registrar of Voters Office or an Early Vote site on or before Election Day, or at a polling place on Election Day. The voter will then be given a provisional ballot to cast. It is recommended that individuals complete the conditional voter registration process before Election Day.
For more information about this election or early voting sites, visit the Registrar of Voters website, SBCountyElections.com or call (909) 387-8300.
The polling place at Mohave Vista Elementary school this morning was a total disaster. It did not open until 7:30AM. One person left before vote for work. Once open it was chaos. We (both my wife and I) were given the wrong ballets. They had to look around to find the other box of ballets. They had the box for provisional ballets by the polling booths and I inadvertently put my ballet in that box. I asked to have it removed so it could be put in the correct box. The head person finally removed it and then folded it and looked like she was going to tear it up. She said that because she removed it that it was invalid (I can understand this) but I don’t think she was going tell me to vote again. Also the only pens available at first were the felt tip pens used in the past but they bleed through the ballots. I hope they are not all invalid.
Will there being additional places to vote early? How about Rancho Cucamonga, upland, or Fontana?
