I live in California, where all registered voters are mailed a ballot in advance. We can then vote it in many different ways:
- Mark the mailed ballot and return it by mail.
- Mark the mailed ballot and drop it in an official locked drop-box. This is how I've often done it the past few years, using the dropbox at my city library a little over 1 mile away.
- Mark the ballot and deliver it to a voting station. Voting stations are open early— 9 days before election day
- Vote the ballot in person at a voting station— on election day or as early as October 26.
- If you don't have an advance ballot or wish to vote at a different voting station, you can vote a provisional ballot at any voting station.
