Residents who missed the deadline can still vote provisionally by registering and voting at a vote center or at the Alameda County Registrar of Voters office (1225 Fallon Street, Oakland) through election day. Ballots of voters who registered after the October 24^th deadline will be processed and counted after the Registrar of Voters has verified their registration.
