How You Can Still Vote In The Recall Election (If You Haven’t Yet)

Recall Election Day is Tuesday, Sept. 14, which is just about to happen. What if you still haven’t returned your ballot? It’s very easy to do so and still have it counted. And some lunatic Trump Republican could take over the state if you don’t vote, so people, it is incredibly important that you do vote in the recall election. 

Here’s how you can still vote, even if you haven’t yet.  There are three ways you can still vote:

• Drop Your Ballot in the Mail
• Visit a Ballot Drop-Off Location
• Just Vote at Your Normal Polling Place

If you need a little more detail on any of these, let’s take a look at your last-minute options with each one.

JUST VOTE AT YOUR NORMAL POLLING PLACE

Your normal polling place will be open and operating from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 14. To find your polling place in California, go to the California Find Your Polling Place Tool and just enter your address.

DROP YOUR BALLOT IN THE MAIL

You can drop it in the mail, or at any postal drop-box on the street. It will still be counted as long as it’s postmarked Sept. 14. But make sure to check the collection times on the dropbox. You have to drop the ballot before the carrier’s collection time on Sept. 14 for your ballot to count.
