Alternatively, the completed form may be returned by mail or in person to the Registrar of Voters.

Important notes:

• The Change of Address Form may not be used to register to vote, change a name, change a political party preference, change a residential address from one county to another, or request a mail ballot.
• This form must include the voter’s signature. An electronic signature cannot be accepted at this time.

To assist voters, the Registrar of Voters created a Change of Address Form for voters to use.

If you Vote by Mail

No later than seven days before an election, print and complete a Change of Address Form and submit a photo or scanned image of the signed form to the Registrar of Voters by fax at 909-386-8388, by email to VoterRegistrations@rov.sbcounty.gov or in person. Indicate on your fax cover sheet or in your email that you would like to be sent a replacement mail ballot based upon your new address.

If you Vote at a Polling Place

On Election Day, you may bring a completed Change of Address Form to any polling place in the county or fill out the form at the polling place. You will then receive your correct ballot to vote.

Voter Registration Applications are processed daily. After your application has been processed, a Voter Notification Postcard will be mailed to you. If you do not receive a Notification Postcard or want to check on your voter registration status, use My Elections Gateway or call 800-881-VOTE.
