CVR was enacted in 2012, to be operative on the January 1st after the certification of a statewide voter registration database
VoteCal was certified September 2016
CVR will be operative as of January 1, 2017

3. CVR | What Is It?
A properly executed affidavit of registration that is delivered by a registrant to a county elections official during the period of E-14 through and including Election Day.
The registration is deemed effective once the county elections official processes the affidavit, determines the registrant’s eligibility to register, and validates the registrant’s information before or during the canvass period.

4. CVR | How It Works
The processing of a CVR shall be processed as a “regular” registration
A CVR voter can cast a CVR provisional ballot during the period of E-14 through and including Election Day
CVR provisional ballots are subject to the same requirements as other provisional ballots
