Conditional Voter Registration (CVR)
Voters who miss the June 8, 2020 voter registration deadline may “conditionally” register to vote and receive their ballot immediately at the Registration & Elections Division at 40 Tower Road, San Mateo, CA, 94402. When a conditional ballot is cast, the Registration & Elections Division processes the registration, determines the individual’s eligibility to register, and validates the individual’s information. If the voter is eligible to vote in San Mateo County, the registration becomes permanent and the conditional ballot will be counted.
Voters who change their names, have cancelled or pending registrations, or are registering in San Mateo County for the first time, must still vote a conditional ballot.
