While it is only mid September, it is a good idea to make sure you have voter registration information ready ahead of time. COVID-19 has thrown us for a loop, creating uncertainty and confusion among voters. Here’s what you need to know to vote in the November 3 General Election this year.
Most CA Voters this year will vote using mail-in ballots that will be mailed out beginning on October 5. Due to the large volumes of ballots that the USPS is expected to process, it is recommended you register early so you receive them as soon as possible.
