There are a total of 482,754 registered voters in Ventura County as of yesterday, up 6%, from 455,000 voters last December. Current breakdown of county voters is 141,008 Republican, 206,090 Democrat, 104,668 Nonpartisan and 30,988 Other.

If you want to confirm that you are registered in Ventura County, visit recorder.countyofventura.org/elections/elections/voter-lookups/am-i-a-registered-voter/#VoterEligibilitySearch and type your exact name and birth date (I’ve found that if you type a shortened name or nickname other than your registered name, it won’t work).

Sample ballots are now available online when you confirm your registration. As you can see, Kanye West made it to the California ballot as Vice President candidate for the American Independent party.

It is not clear if he consented to this but I suspect he did not. Kanye did make it to the Oklahoma, Colorado, Louisiana and a handful of other states’ ballots as an independent candidate.

You can register to vote at https://registertovote.ca.gov/ until October 19th (15 days before the election).
