These elections are very important for California and the Latino voter plays a very important role. Here’s how you can do it, no matter if you don’t want to go to the polls.
Vote by mail
If you’re registered to vote in California, you probably already have a ballot. State law required counties to start mailing ballots to every voter no later than Oct. 10.
No postage is required and you can mail your ballot anytime before Nov. 8. It will count as long as it’s postmarked on or before Election Day and received by your county’s register of voters by Nov. 15.
California has a website — wheresmyballot.sos.ca.gov — that lets voters track their ballot and receive emails, texts or voicemails about its status.
Vote early
Not comfortable mailing in your ballot? You can drop it off at an official drop box between now and 8 p.m. Election Day. Here’s where to find them:
