Area residents who are voting by mail must return their ballots to the county elections office in time for Tuesday’s election. The ballots may be mailed, but must be postmarked on or before Tuesday, November 8, and received within three business days following the election. To ensure your ballot is received in time, voters are encouraged to drop off their ballots to any polling place, or to the Yucca Valley Town Hall, the Joshua Tree Library, or the Twentynine Palms City Hall.
