You may return your voted vote-by-mail ballot by mail, in person at the Yolo County Elections Office or at any polling place by 8:00 pm on Election Day.

It must be in our office by 8:00 pm. If your ballot does not arrive by 8:00 pm on Election Day it WILL NOT be counted. It does not matter if it has a postmark that is dated on or before Election Day.

It is important that you read and completely fill out the return envelope you received with your vote-by-mail ballot. In order for us to be able to count your ballot, you must sign the envelope in which your ballot is returned and indicate your residence address.

If you want someone else to return your voted ballot

If you did not mail your voted vote-by-mail ballot and you are unable to return it to the Yolo County Elections office or a polling place in person, only your spouse, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother can return your voted ballot for you.

The name of the person returning the ballot for you must be printed and the relationship must be circled. You still must complete and sign the appropriate sections on the vote-by-mail ballot return envelope.
