4 Ways to Vote

Red mailbox with a white envelope inside, inside a blue circle with a yellow border, next to a red rectangle with the number 1 in white; below the mailbox icon is text saying Vote by Mail in white on a dark blue rounded rectangle background.

By California law, each registered voter will be mailed a ballot by their county election official. Look for your ballot toward the end of the first week in October. Fill it out, sign it, and mail it back on or before November 3rd - General Election Day. Earlier is better! It’s easy!

Vote-by-Mail ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day (November 3rd). Best to mail your Vote-By-Mail ballot one week before election day. Earlier is better!
