Vote by Mail
All registered voters will receive a VBM ballot to ensure a safe and accessible voting option during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mailing of VBM ballots in all elections begins 29 days prior to Election Day, or October 5. Completed ballots can be submitted by mail, in person at any VBM Drop Box location, and at any Vote Center in LA County. If a ballot is postmarked by Election Day and received within 17 days of the election date, the ballot will be processed, verified, and counted in the election. LA County provides full language service and/or assistance in up to 18 multilingual languages.
To request your ballot or election materials in another language please call LA County’s Multilingual Services Program at 800-815-2666, option 3.
How to Track Your Ballot
Receive personalized text messages, emails, and/or automated voice messages on your VBM ballot by subscribing to Where’s My Ballot. This is a free service available to all registered voters that provides updated information on where your ballot is and when you can expect to receive it. Voters can confirm that their ballot was received and tallied through the Vote by Mail Status Tool.
