REQUESTING A VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT
The State of California offers every registered voter an opportunity to cast a vote by mail. Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan wants all voters to know that “the vote by mail process allows every voter to participate in the democratic process regardless of scheduling conflicts, accessibility issues or other reasons preventing a voter from making it to their polling place on Election Day.” Vote by Mail ballots can be requested in one of the following ways:
- Complete the Vote by Mail application on the back cover of the official sample ballot booklet; or
