California voters should mail ballots by tomorrow to ensure counting, per the Secretary of State\u2019s Office, due to USPS pickup changes affecting postmarks.<\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 Tomorrow is the last day California officials recommend that people mail their ballots to guarantee they are counted.<\/p>\n

The recommendation is due to a change at USPS where mail at post offices and collection boxes 50 miles from a regional hub is picked up the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the California Secretary of State\u2019s Office, this means that mail dropped off in these areas on Election Day will not be postmarked until the next day, making it ineligible for counting.<\/p>\n

The Secretary of State’s and Attorney General’s office provided\u00a0this map<\/a> for the regional hubs in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For anyone voting by mail who misses the recommended deadline, there are a few options, the office said. They can either drop their ballot off at a voter center or ballot box or go to the post office to request a postmark on their ballot.<\/p>\n
