Some 9 million mail-in ballots have already been cast in California, where voters had until midnight Tuesday to request a mail-in ballot.

All vote-by-mail ballots must be received by the county elections office by 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, when the polls close.

To return mail-in ballots, California voters have three options:

1. They can mail their ballot to:
   Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk
   Vote By Mail Section
   PO Box 30450, Los Angeles, CA 90030-0450
2. Deliver it in person to a polling place or county elections office. In LA County, the address is;
   12400 Imperial Hwy., Norwalk, CA 90650
   3rd Floor Room 3002
   8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
   (562) 466-1323
3. Or, they can authorize a relative or person living in the same household to return the ballot on their behalf.

Voters who choose to cast their ballot by mail can check the status of their vote here.

Early voting is also under way in California. Registered voters in LA County can visit the third floor of the RR/CC Headquarters located at 12400 Imperial Hwy., Norwalk to cast their ballots.
