There are several resources that you may access to learn more about how vote-by-mail works in California. As with all election procedures, we follow state laws and guidelines governing the vote-by-mail process.

General laws about vote-by-mail in California start with Elections Code Chapter 1, Division 3, section 3000 et. seq. As a Voter’s Choice Act county, which requires participants to send all active registered voters a ballot, we also conduct mail balloting processes under Elections Code section 4005. The California Secretary of State further offers some educational materials about vote-by-mail: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail
