Vote-by-Mail Voting

What you need to know about Vote-by-Mail Voting

By California law, each registered voter will be mailed a ballot by their county election official. An individual request is not necessary. Voters may vote in person at a Vote Center and do not have to use the ballot mailed to them. Only active, eligible voters will be mailed a ballot.


Ballots are mailed no later than the 29th day prior to Election Day.
