EARLY VOTING
You may also register for early voting. You can do this by calling the County Recorder’s office or by making a written request. When you register to vote, the form or the website will ask you if you would like to be added to the “Early Voting List” so you will not have to submit a separate request. Your early ballot must be received by the County Recorder or any polling location before the end of Election Day. This means the ballot must be placed in the mail before Election Day. If you did not mail your ballot, you can still vote by hand-delivering the ballot to any polling location before the close of day.
EARLY BALLOTS NOTICE: Early ballots must be received by election day! It is not sufficient that your early ballot be post marked by the day of the election. If you forgot or have not mailed your ballot, you may drop it off at any polling location. Mailing the ballot on Election Day may cause your ballot to not be counted.
Did your early ballot or provisional ballot count? Verify whether your vote counted as well as find your polling location on the Secretary of State's website, section onVoter Information.
