CA Extends Mail-in-Ballots Return Date


For California'a Primary Election, a Law was Passed that Extended Mail-in-Ballots Received Days after the Election Date.

Under the Old Law, a Registered Voter may Vote-by-Mail by Requesting a Vote-by-Mail Ballot for a Specific Election or by becoming a Permanent Vote-by-Mail Voter.

County Elections Officials must begin Mailing Ballots and other Required Materials to these Voters No later than 29 Days before the Day of the Election.

Under the Current Law, the California Voter’s Choice Act, Authorizes any County to Conduct any Election occurring on or after January 1st, 2020, as an All-Mailed-Ballot Election if Specified Conditions are Met.

In an All-Mailed-Ballot Election held under the Act, the County Elections Official must Mail a Ballot to Every Registered Voter, regardless of whether the Voter Requested a Vote-by-Mail Ballot or is a Permanent Vote-by-Mail Voter.

This Law would require County Elections Officials to Mail a Ballot to Every Registered Voter for the November 3rd, 2020, Statewide General Election.

So Mailed Ballots: Must be Postmarked on or before November 3rd, 2020, and Received by County Elections Office, 17 Days, or No Later than November 20th, 2020.
