Additionally, all registered California voters were mailed a vote-by-mail ballot which can be returned in a number of ways:
- Drop Box – Return your ballot to a secure drop-box location in any county up to 28 days before the election. Counties offer many secure drop boxes to return your ballot. Ballot drop boxes close at 8:00 p.m. on June 7, 2022.
- Mail – Return your ballot by mail as soon as you complete it. There is no stamp required to return your ballot through the US Postal Service. Make sure your ballot is postmarked by June 7, 2022 and arrives no later than 7 days after the election.
- In Person – Vote in person up to 10 days before the election at any vote center in the county in which you are registered to vote.
Please remember to sign your ballot envelopes before returning your ballot. You may sign up at WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov to receive updates on your vote-by-mail ballot via text, email, or voice call.

Live Online Event: June 2nd at 10:00am $30.00

This workshop will focus on five of the most frequent employee claims: meal and rest break violations, misclassification of independent contractors, pay stub violations, final pay, and uncompensated time.
