Or where to drop off your completed mail-in ballot in the Bay Area? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Skip straight to: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#find\">How to find your early voting site or ballot drop-off location\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#county\">See if your county permits you to vote at any voting location\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Dropping Off Your Mail-In Ballot\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail/\">every registered voter in California received a mail-in ballot\u003c/a> without requesting it, in an attempt to avoid crowding at the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you haven't submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it's recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots. You can do that up to and including Election Day at 8 p.m. \u003ca href=\"#find\">Find your nearest drop box\u003c/a>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You \u003cem>could\u003c/em> still mail your completed ballot via the United States Postal Service at any collection box — the envelope doesn't require a stamp, and it'll be counted as long as it's postmarked by Election Day. But because the United States Post Office is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11840343/how-to-make-sure-your-mail-in-ballot-isnt-rejected-in-california\">recommending mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day\u003c/a>, and that date has now passed, using a drop box is now the best way to really ensure your ballot reaches your county elections office in time to be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside postID=news_11841547,news_11839465,news_11840343]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also still \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot's progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured that it's on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>When Is Early Voting Available in the Bay Area?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Now! As of October 5, in-person voting became available at every county registrar's office in the Bay Area. More early voting locations will open across the Bay Area starting October 31 (or October 30 in Contra Costa County). \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#find\">Find where to vote early in your county\u003c/a>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: Bring the ballot you were mailed along with you when you go to vote in person. (Why? People who opt to vote-by-mail \u003cem>always\u003c/em> have to bring their ballot with them if they decide to vote in person, as proof they didn't already mail it and aren't therefore voting twice — and this year, because all registered voters in California got a ballot in the mail , they all became mail-in voters by default.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you forget your ballot, or didn't receive one, you can still vote in person, but you may be required to vote provisionally (a vote that's subject to extra checks, i.e., that you're actually registered to vote in California, or that you didn't already complete and mail your ballot.) This extra layer of confirmation takes time, and therefore means your vote might not be counted on Election Day itself — although it'll eventually be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register to vote online\u003c/a> was October 19. If you missed that deadline, don't worry: you can still register afterwards at one of these early voting locations via what's called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) You can then fill out and submit your ballot there and then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to voter registration, many voting locations also offer replacement ballots, accessible voting machines and language assistance for voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"find\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>How to Find Your Early Voting Site or Ballot Drop-Off Location in California:\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Visit the \u003ca href=\"https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/\">State of California lookup tool\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Enter your county — adding your city or zip code will give more localized results, but it's optional\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Check the \"Early Voting\" and/or \"Drop Off Location\" boxes\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hit \"Search\" to see all of the early voting and drop off locations in that specified area\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"county\">\u003c/a>What's Different About In-Person Voting for \u003cem>Your\u003c/em> County This Year?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Under a new state law, California counties now have greater flexibility for how they plan to offer in-person voting this election.

This extra layer of confirmation takes time, and therefore means your vote might not be counted on Election Day itself — although it'll eventually be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register to vote online\u003c/a> was October 19.

Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: “which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it’s recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you’re reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it’s recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.

Or perhaps you registered to vote at the DMV and provided your signature on a screen with a stylus, which doesn’t \u003cem>quite\u003c/em> replicate how you’d make your signature with a pen, on paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you registered this way, one simple way to avoid any signature problems is to take a quick glance at the signature that’s on your driver’s license or state I.D. — because that’s the one you want your ballot signature to match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn’t register at the DMV itself, that signature on your most recent license or state I.D. is still very likely the one to emulate. That’s because when you register to vote online, your county elections office electronically requests a copy of the signature the DMV \u003cem>currently\u003c/em> has for you, and this information is regularly updated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further set your mind at rest, know that California isn’t an “exact match” state, and doesn’t demand voters’ signatures 100% replicate the signature that’s on file. We’ve got even\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841547/i-made-a-mistake-on-my-ballot-how-do-i-fix-it\"> more information about signature matching here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841492\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 580px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11841492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature.png 580w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature-160x99.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The signature space on a San Francisco ballot — instructions vary county by county, so it’s important to check yours \u003ccite>(Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What if you still get it wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily, there’s a whole system in place to help you correct your mistake.

Counties have to contact voters at least six days before they certify their election results and give voters up until two days before they certify their election results to “cure” their signatures. And remember: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot\u003c/a>, and you’ll find out about any issues with your ballot or your signature quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the way, here at KQED we’ve had several audience questions asking whether the date required on the signature section should be the date you signed your ballot, or your birthdate.

According to The Associated Press, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a45421048cd89938df7c882891a97db5\">more than 800 envelopes were mailed in California’s March primary without any ballots inside\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeping your envelope and your ballot together in your home might be a helpful way of avoiding this problem. And of course, when you’re ready to mail your ballot, make sure it’s actually inside the envelope before you seal it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"mistake\">\u003c/a>What if You Make a Mistake on Your Ballot?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>First, don’t panic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People make mistakes on ballots, and find good ways to correct them. Counties give different directions to voters about what to do if they make a mistake (remember: read the instructions!) but you can usually simply “X” out the choice you didn’t intend, Alexander says, and put in your correct choice. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841547/i-made-a-mistake-on-my-ballot-how-do-i-fix-it\">More information about correcting mistakes.\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters do all kinds of creative things with their ballots,” she says, and the job of county elections officials — once they’ve verified your signature — is to make sure your ballot can be read correctly. If that means that your corrections on your ballot have resulted in readability issues, officials working in teams of two will actually remake it for you according to the intent you’ve signaled with your corrections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11840826\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if you don’t feel you \u003cem>can\u003c/em> fix your mistake, or you’ve somehow damaged your ballot (or straight-up just spilled coffee on it?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander says you have multiple options:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Call your county elections office and ask them to cancel that ballot and issue a new one to you\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to your county elections office with your spoiled ballot and vote right there at the counter during business hours\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Take advantage of the \u003ca href=\"https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/\">early voting options\u003c/a> available in many counties\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to a voting site on Election Day, turn in your spoiled ballot there and get a new ballot\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"track\">\u003c/a>What if You Didn’t Get a Ballot at All?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you aren’t registered to vote in California, you won’t be sent a ballot automatically. If you didn’t register and decide you want to vote in person, you can register via what’s called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) If you’re doing this on Election Day itself, you can register and vote at the same time at your polling place — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place\">find your voting location here.\u003c/a> The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is October 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are registered to vote, ballots will be sent out in California by October 5 — so you should expect to receive your ballot by around October 15, Alexander says. This is another good reason to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot’s progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured if it’s on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if there’s no sign of your ballot? Again, Alexander says, don’t panic, because “there are a lot of fail safes in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One helpful warning sign, Alexander says: “If you’re not getting anything about the election in the mail, you probably aren’t registered to vote at your current address.” \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Check your registration details \u003c/a>and address, and if they’re incorrect, update them ASAP before the voter registration deadline of October 19, 15 days before Election Day. Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won’t be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won’t mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can’t be sure it’ll reach you in time. So if you’re trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a Conditional Voter Registration at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if You Use Assistive Technology to Complete Forms?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember, getting physical assistance with filling out your ballot from someone you trust is always fine, whether you’re voting at home or at a voting site. You just need to make sure your signature is your own, and matches the one you’re registered to vote with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters with disabilities can also choose to use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mail\">Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail \u003c/a>system to vote privately and independently at home, using their usual assistive device on their home computer to fill out the ballot on their screen and then print and mail it. (This year, Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail is actually available to all voters who need it, under emergency legislation passed earlier this year in light of COVID-19.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every voting location in California is also equipped with an accessible voting unit. Here, voters who are sight-impaired or have a disability that limits their dexterity will be able to use the assistive device of their choice that allows them to vote privately and independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tip: Look Out For the Young Voters in Your Life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837810/study-finds-young-voters-more-likely-to-have-mail-ballots-rejected\">Young voters are the most likely to have their ballots rejected\u003c/a>, according to the data — and there are good reasons for that, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most obviously, they’re newer to voting in general. But they’re also likely to be less familiar with how the U.S. Postal Service works, especially when it comes to issues like collection times and post office hours. Younger people are more likely to conduct a lot of their business online, and therefore have less familiarity with activities that require a written signature on paper, like writing checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>Younger voters, Alexander says, also get their ballots rejected more frequently than other voters due to signature mismatch. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that’s really stemming from the fact that many of them are pre-registering to vote, or registering at a very young age before they’ve actually formed a signature,” she says — especially if they’re making that signature with a stylus while registering at the DMV. Her advice, once again: Check the signature on your driver’s license or state I.D., and make sure it matches what you’re signing on your ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840829\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840829\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make sure the young voters in your life get the support they need this election season \u003ccite>(Daniel Xavier/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All this, Alexander says, means younger voters “have a knowledge gap there that they have to overcome.” So if you’re able to spend five minutes helping out a young person in your life who wants to vote this year, it’s time well spent.

Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: “which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it’s recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you’re reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it’s recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.

Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won’t be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won’t mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can’t be sure it’ll reach you in time. So if you’re trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a Conditional Voter Registration at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sin embargo, la fecha final para que lleguen las boletas ha sido aplazada del 6 de noviembre hasta el 20 para darles más tiempo a las boletas llegar a las oficinas del condado.

Algunas casillas pueden tener protecciones especiales como biombos de plástico. Más información estará disponible ya que se aproxime noviembre.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tomará más tiempo de lo normal para que los resultados sean disponibles\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>La pandemia del coronavirus probablemente tendrá un efecto positivo en el número de votantes por correo este año. Más boletas por correo signifcará una espera más larga para que cada voto sea contado, lo que significa que se sabrá el resultado final de algunas contiendas competitivas hasta días, o semanas, después del día de elecciones. Lo mismo está ocurriendo en la elección presidencial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En un momento en que tanto está cambiando, cabe recalcar que un plazo extendido para contar los votos no equivale a una señal que ha ocurrido un fraude o un error. Algo similar pasó en el 2018, cuando los resultados de algunas contiendas en California no fueron finalizados hasta semanas después del día de elecciones, ya que se seguían contando las boletas mandadas por correo y votos provisionales.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"ask\">\u003c/a>Díganos: ¿qué más quiere saber?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[hearken id=\"6426\" src=\"https://modules.wearehearken.com/kqed-en-espanol/embed/6522.js\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo fue traducido por el periodista, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ccabreralomeli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Manténgase informado con las noticias de KQED en Español.

It’s because people who opt to vote-by-mail \u003cem>always\u003c/em> have to bring their ballot with them if they decide to vote in person, as proof they didn’t already mail it and aren’t therefore voting twice. It’s just that this year, all registered voters in California are getting sent a ballot in the mail — i.e becoming mail-in voters by default, even without requesting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens if you arrive at the polls without your ballot, because you forgot it? Or perhaps you’re a student who doesn’t live full-time at the address at which you’re registered to vote, where the ballot was sent? Unhoused people or those who have no fixed address might also be affected by not being able to bring a ballot to the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news: Without a ballot you can still vote in person, but you may be required to vote provisionally. A provisional vote is a vote that’s subject to extra checks (i.e., that you’re actually registered to vote in California, or that you didn’t already complete and mail your ballot.) This extra layer of confirmation takes time, and therefore means your vote might not be counted on Election Day itself — although it’ll eventually be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833305\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11833305\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/election2020.png\" alt=\"Election 2020 is drawing closer.

It’s because people who opt to vote-by-mail \u003cem>always\u003c/em> have to bring their ballot with them if they decide to vote in person, as proof they didn’t already mail it and aren’t therefore voting twice. It’s just that this year, all registered voters in California are getting sent a ballot in the mail — i.e becoming mail-in voters by default, even without requesting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what happens if you arrive at the polls without your ballot, because you forgot it? Or perhaps you’re a student who doesn’t live full-time at the address at which you’re registered to vote, where the ballot was sent? Unhoused people or those who have no fixed address might also be affected by not being able to bring a ballot to the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news: Without a ballot you can still vote in person, but you may be required to vote provisionally. A provisional vote is a vote that’s subject to extra checks (i.e., that you’re actually registered to vote in California, or that you didn’t already complete and mail your ballot.) This extra layer of confirmation takes time, and therefore means your vote might not be counted on Election Day itself — although it’ll eventually be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833305\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11833305\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/election2020.png\" alt=\"Election 2020 is drawing closer.

You can still vote in person, but you may be required to vote provisionally. A provisional vote is a vote that’s subject to extra checks (ie. that you’re actually registered to vote in California, or that you didn’t already complete and mail your ballot.)

It’s because people who opt to vote by mail-in ballot always have to bring their ballot with them to vote in person, as proof they didn’t already mail it and aren’t therefore voting twice. It’s just that this year, all registered voters in California are getting sent a ballot in the mail — i.e becoming mail-in voter by default, even without requesting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3.
