Elections officials across the Bay Area have a deadline of October 29 to mail out last requests for replacement Vote by Mail ballots. Bay Area Elections Officials encourage you to use that as your guide in making your plan to vote!
To return your Vote-By-Mail ballot:
By mail: The last recommended day to mail your ballot is October 29. Ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received by November 12 will be accepted. Mailbox pick up times vary so please check the mailbox pick up before you drop your ballot in.
At a Drop Box: To any official drop box by 8 pm on Election Day.
In person: To any voting location or elections office by 8 pm on Election Day, November 5.
Don’t forget to sign your envelope!
“With more ways and more days to vote, it is more important than ever before to make sure voters stay informed of varying deadlines” said Gina Martinez, Monterey County Registrar of Voters. “October 29th is the last day Bay Area Election Officials can mail a ballot to a voter. Voters should use this as a last recommended day to return their ballot in the mail.”
Voters can track their Vote-By-Mail (“VBM”) ballot to know when it is mailed, received, and processed by their county’s elections office. Sign up at https://wheresmyballot.sos.ca.gov. See the attached graphic to understand the steps of processing VBM ballots.
