Voter registration lookups, polling place finders and ballot status via the California Secretary of State and 58 county Registrar of Voters offices.
How California Voter Records Work
California voter registration is administered by the California Secretary of State Elections Division in coordination with each of the state's 58 county elections officials. To check your registration status, polling place, mail-ballot tracking and party preference, use the official My Voter Status portal — the only authoritative source [sos.ca.gov]. Online registration and updates run through registertovote.ca.gov.

How California Voter Records Work — Deep Dive
State and county responsibilities
The Secretary of State certifies elections, maintains VoteCal (the statewide voter database) and runs the public-facing lookup tools. Day-to-day voter-roll maintenance — registration intake, signature verification, vote-by-mail ballots, polling places — is the responsibility of each of California's 58 elected County Registrars of Voters (or, in some smaller counties, the County Clerk). Los Angeles County's Registrar/Recorder publishes its own status tool [lavote.gov] and Yolo County its own [ace.yolocounty.gov].
Online registration and verification
Eligible voters can register or update their record online at registertovote.ca.gov (the system uses DMV signature data for identity verification when available). Federal voter-registration links are also available via vote.gov. To verify current status, polling location, vote-by-mail ballot tracking and party affiliation, use My Voter Status — results are live against the VoteCal database.
What's public and what isn't
California Elections Code §2194 makes the voter file available only for election, scholarly, journalistic, political or governmental purposes — not commercial use. Date of birth, driver's license number, social-security digits and signatures in the voter record are confidential and never released. Bulk data requests are processed by the Secretary of State; individual lookups are restricted to confirming your own registration through the My Voter Status portal.
