Miss the Voter Registration Deadline? Voters who missed the voter registration deadline for the 2020 Presidential General Election, can still register and vote in person at an Early Vote site or at a polling place using the Same Day Voter Registration process. First time voters who are not yet registered and registered voters who moved into San Bernardino County but have not updated their address can still vote in this year’s General Election using the Same Day Voter Registr...ation process. Known as Conditional Voter Registration in State law, this is a safety net for Californians who missed the October 19 deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration. Eligible citizens who need to register (or re-register) to vote within 14 days of an election can complete this process to register at the San Bernardino County ROV office, or from Oct. 26 through Oct. 30, at any of the Early Vote Sites that will be open. From Saturday, Oct. 31 through Tuesday, Nov. 3, eligible citizens can take advantage of Same Day Voter Registration at their polling place. These voters will be provided provisional ballots to cast, which then will be processed and counted once the Registrar of Voters has completed the voter registration verification process. To register to vote in California, you must be: A United States citizen and a resident of California 18 years old or older on Election Day, Not currently in state or federal prison or on parole for the conviction of a felony Not currently found mentally incompetent to vote by a court

Unfortunately, fraud reports have spiked due to uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and scammers exploiting the crisis to find new ways to cash in at the expense of residents. Below are examples provided by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of common frauds and tips on how to recognize them to avoid being scammed: Learn how to tell the difference between a real contact tracer and a scammer. Legitimate tracers need health information, not money or personal financial informatio...n. Don’t respond to texts, emails or calls about checks from the government. Here’s what you need to know. Ignore offers for vaccinations and home test kits. Scammers are selling products to treat or prevent COVID-19 without proof that they work. Be wary of ads for test kits. Most test kits being advertised have not been approved by the FDA, and aren’t necessarily accurate. Hang up on robocalls. Scammers are using illegal robocalls to pitch everything from low-priced health insurance to work-at-home schemes. Watch for emails claiming to be from the CDC or WHO. Use sites like coronavirus.gov and usa.gov/coronavirus to get the latest information. And don’t click on links from sources you don’t know. Do your homework when it comes to donations. Never donate in cash, by gift card, or by wiring money. See more
