 You've gotten your Vote-by-Mail Ballot. Now What?

1. You can vote at home and then:

    a.  Drop it off at any Ballot Drop Box or Vote Center Site in your county. Here's where they are.

In Santa Clara County, the Official Ballot Drop Boxes will be available 24 hours a day, starting October 5 until the polls close at 8 p.m. on November 3, 2020. 

FYI: the County Registrar of ​Voters' schedule to collect ballots from drop boxes is:​​​​

• October 7 – October 16, 2020: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday​​ 
• October 19 – November 3, 2020: Every Day (Be sure your ballot's in the box by 8:00 p.m.!)

• 

  b. You can mail it in

  If you choose to use the US Postal Service to mail your completed ballot:

1. It must be postmarked on or before the close of polls on Election Day, 8:00 p.m. Tuesday November 3,  AND
2. It must be received no later than ​17 days after Election Day (this is totally out of your control)
   
   

Concerned about mail-in ballot errors? 

2. You can vote in person:
