Election officials in California began mailing ballots on October 5 for the general election scheduled for November 3. In Riverside County, the Registrar of Voters is automatically sending ballots to all active registered voters. The state's primary contest is the gubernatorial race to succeed outgoing Governor Gavin Newsom, with Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton competing for the office.
Riverside County residents have until October 19 to register online, though same-day registration remains available at designated vote centers.
Parallel efforts are occurring in Oregon, where local advocates are pushing for increased voter registration in Umatilla County by the October 13 deadline. These advocates are calling for the election of Republican Christine Drazan to replace Governor Tina Kotek.
