More than 80 Indivisible groups across California are hosting, from drop-box parties in Sonoma County to nine overpasses on Highway 50. - Author: David Anthony - Tags: Statewide, No Kings Saturday's No Kings has a different job than the last three. The coalition is calling October 17 [No Kings: Vote Early](https://www.nokings.org/?ref=indivisibleca.net), a nonpartisan voter participation day, and the [more than 2,000 events organizers say are planned nationwide](https://www.citizen.org/news/no-kings-vote-early-crosses-2000-events-during-national-voter-education-week/?ref=indivisibleca.net) are meant to help eligible voters register, check their status, understand their ballots, make a plan to vote early, and connect with election protection work. The nonviolence commitment carries over: de-escalate, act lawfully, leave weapons at home. By our count of the [No Kings event feed](https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/?ref=indivisibleca.net) on October 14, counting each event once by its listing ID, 312 of Saturday's events are in California, spread across 221 cities and towns, and more than 80 of those listings name an Indivisible group as host. Chapters have posted more on their own Mobilize pages. Here is what those groups have built, as described in their own listings, followed by the rest of the state. The timing is the point. California counties were [required to begin mailing ballots by October 5](https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/upcoming-elections/general-election-november-3-2026?ref=indivisibleca.net), and the regular registration deadline is Monday, October 19\. Anyone who misses that date can still [register conditionally and vote a provisional ballot](https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/upcoming-elections/general-election-november-3-2026/key-dates-deadlines?ref=indivisibleca.net) at a county elections office or an open vote center through November 3. ## Parties at the drop box The clearest pattern in the Indivisible listings is the ballot drop box as the destination.

Julian Indivisible walks to the library drop box, then celebrates at Mom's Pie House in Wynola.

Other regional roundups overlap with the events above. FOX 11 lists [more than 50 events across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties](https://www.foxla.com/news/no-kings-vote-early-southern-california-events-october-17?ref=indivisibleca.net), including a downtown gathering at Gloria Molina Grand Park from 1 to 5 p.m. In Santa Barbara, a noon rally at Alameda Park [marches to De La Guerra Plaza and ends with a "Party to the Polls"](https://www.independent.com/events/no-kings-3-2/?ref=indivisibleca.net) at the City Hall drop box.

If you are not registered or are not sure, go anyway and ask. Check your event listing or ask the organizers about volunteering, including election protection work between now and November 3. Then on Sunday, remind one person that the regular registration deadline is Monday, and that conditional registration runs through Election Day.
