The U.S. Postal Service recently sent out post cards with tips about voting by mail. California residents may be confused by the postcard, since it was not written specifically for California, and may have information that is not applicable to our state. Ernest Figueroa has more information about voting by mail in California…
On May 8, Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order directing that every registered voter receive a vote-by-mail ballot prior to the November 3 election. Voters may either return the ballot by mail to their county election official; return it in person to a polling location; drop it off at a county ballot drop box; or give it to someone to return on their behalf. Voters may also go to the polls to cast their vote instead of using the absentee ballot. If you use a mail ballot, you must sign the return envelope, and your signature must match the signature on your voter registration card on file with the county registrar of voters. All valid vote-by-mail ballots are counted. The Post Office recommends that voters return their ballots at least a week before the election. More information is available at the link below.
