Voter registration application submissions are subject to review and approval by the appropriate local general registrar, according to the SBE. 

Residents will be notified directly via mail by the local voter registration office once an application has been processed.  Voters will also be mailed new or updated voter registration cards when the appropriate general registrar accepts the application or update.
