Any registered voter may vote early instead of going to the polls on Election Day.

When does early voting begin?

In-person early voting locations and hours may vary by county. To locate an early voting location near you, visit CAEarlyVoting.sos.ca.gov or contact your County Elections Office.

Where can I vote early?

You can cast your ballot before Election Day by visiting your county's election office, an early voting location offered by your county, or by using the vote-by-mail system.

Voting early by mail

County elections officials mail ballots to all active registered voters about a month before the election. For more information regarding vote-by-mail click here.

All valid vote-by-mail ballots are counted in every election in California, regardless of the outcome or closeness of any race.
