Here’s what to know about mail a ballot on Election Day.
CALIFORNIA, USA — California voters who still have a vote-by-mail ballot on Election Day can return it through the mail, but state officials say they should get a hand-stamped postmark from a postal employee to ensure the ballot is postmarked on time.
According to the California Secretary of State’s office, mailed ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received no later than seven days after the election to be counted.
Voters returning a ballot by mail should complete all required information on the return envelope before sending it back.
Voters also have other options to return completed ballots. They can be returned by 8 p.m. June 2 at a secure drop box, polling place, vote center or county elections office.
State officials said anyone may return a voter’s ballot on their behalf as long as that person is not paid on a per-ballot basis.
The Secretary of State’s office said all valid vote-by-mail ballots are counted in every California election regardless of the outcome or closeness of a race.
