How, Where to Cast Mail-In Ballots

Voting by mail and in-person early voting are already under way in Los Angeles County.

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.
