Permanent Vote-By-Mail Voting: Any registered voter may become a permanent vote-by-mail voter. As a permanent vote-by-mail voter, you will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot for each election. To become a permanent vote-by-mail voter, you must complete an application, which is available from your county elections official, or you may use the California Vote-By-Mail Ballot Application.
Your permanent vote-by-mail status will only end if you do not vote in two consecutive statewide general elections.
Vote By Mail: Any registered voter may vote using a vote-by-mail ballot instead of going to the polls on Election Day. California law also allows any
registered voter to become a permanent vote-by-mail voter. To request a vote-by-mail ballot for one election or to become a permanent
vote-by-mail voter, follow the simple process described below.
Apply to Vote By Mail Registered voters may apply for a vote-by-mail ballot for an upcoming election at any time. If you apply by mail, your application must be received no later than 7 days before an election, otherwise you will need to apply in person to get a vote-by-mail ballot for that election.
Deadlines To Mail A Request For A Vote-By-Mail Ballot
General Election Date November 6, 2012
Last day to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot by mail : October 30, 2012 November 6, 2012
Senate District 4 Special Primary Election Date November 6, 2012
Last day to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot by mail :October 30, 2012
You can use the application printed on your Sample Ballot that is mailed to you by your county elections official prior to every election. If you don't want to wait for your sample ballot, you can write to your county elections official for an application or you may use the California Vote-By-Mail Ballot Application.
Read the instructions, type your information directly into the application, then print, sign and date the application, and mail it to your county elections office. Please do not send it to the Secretary of State's office, because this will delay receipt of your vote-by-mail ballot.
The Secretary of State also provides vote-by-mail applications in Hindi. These forms are available on the New Voter web page.
Voting By Mail Any registered voter may vote using a vote-by-mail ballot instead of going to the polls on Election Day.
Once your application is processed by your county elections official, your ballot will be sent to you. After you have voted, insert your ballot in the envelope provided, making sure you complete all required information on the envelope. You may return your voted vote-by-mail ballot by 1) mailing it to your county elections official; 2) returning it in person to a polling place or the elections office in your county on Election Day; or 3) authorizing a relative or person living in the same household as you to return the ballot on your behalf. Regardless of how the ballot is returned, it MUST be received by the county elections office by the time polls close at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Late-arriving vote-by-mail ballots will not be counted.
When your vote-by-mail ballot is received by your county elections official, your signature on the return envelope will be compared to the signature on your voter registration card to ensure they match. To preserve the secrecy of your ballot, the ballot will then be separated from the envelope, and then it will be tallied.
