Registered voters in California can expect to receive their ballots soon, as officials begin sending out voting packages by Oct. 7, 29 days before the presidential election.
Voters can choose to fill out, sign, and mail back their ballot—no stamp needed—by Election Day, Nov. 5, which is the last day for a valid ballot to be postmarked. Signatures are required and will be checked against those provided on voter registration cards to verify authenticity.
Ballots can also be dropped off at in-person polls on Election Day between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., or at designated drop boxes, which will be opened around Oct. 7….
