Vote By Mail (Absentee) Ballot
Per Assembly Bill 37 (AB37), all active registered voters will receive a Vote-By-Mail (VBM) ballot in the mail for all Elections. Regular VBM Ballots go out 29-days prior to Election Day, to the mailing address that is on the voter's registration.
In order to vote in-person, at your assigned polling location, you must surrender the un-voted ballot and envelope mailed to you and ask a Poll Woker to issue you a precinct ballot. You will be required to vote a Provisional Ballot if you are unable to surrender your un-voted ballot and envelope.
The text of the AB 37 can be found at Bill Text - AB-37 Elections: vote by mail ballots.
Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), does allow US citizens who are either active Military or living overseas to receive a Vote-By-Mail (VMB). For more information on this process visit: Military & Overseas Voters :: California Secretary of State
If you have questions about your registration or if you have not received your ballot after the 29th day prior to Election Day please call our office at 707-234-6819.
