County voter information guides on the way for November 7 special measure election

Approximately 36,080 voter information guides started going out to City of Perris voters today, Sept. 28, for the special measure election on Nov. 7. 

Material in the voter information guide will help voters make informed choices. Voters may mark their selections on the voter information guide and use it to help them complete their official ballot. The Registrar of Voters recommends that voters review the materials before casting an official ballot. If voters do not receive an information guide in the mail, it will be available online at www.voteinfo.net starting on 10/3/23.  Voters also may call the registrar’s office at (951) 486-7200 or (800) 773-8683 to request a mailed copy.

A Spanish-language version of the guide will be available at www.voteinfo.net and a copy can be mailed upon request.

Special Note: Effective January 1, 2017, conditional voter registration is available to eligible voters in California pursuant to Election Codes 2170 through 2173.
