> In person: You can vote in person, find your polling place at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place.

In some locations, mail may not be postmarked by the United States Postal Service until the following day, and some postal locations do not transport mail on the date it is postmarked. If you cannot return your voted ballot at a drop box or polling location and choose to mail your ballot, it is recommended that you obtain a manual postmark from a postal employee inside your local United States Post Office and that you mail the ballot in advance of Election Day, June 2, 2026.
