Here's what you should do now.
If your registration is inactive or your signature or address has changed, register to vote.
Sign up to get notifications when your ballot gets mailed out and when it gets counted.
Start watching your mailbox—you should receive your ballot soon. Then you can vote easily from home in three easy steps:
Start filling your ballot out at home.
You don’t need to do it all at once. You can piece it out according to your schedule.
You don’t need to wait until November. You can start as soon as you get it and take your time.
You can wait until the League of Pissed-Off Voters guide or other resources before deciding on your pick for governor.
You don’t need to go to a specific place to fill it out. You can fill it out at home, then mail it back or drop it off.
When you’ve finished filling out your ballot: Put your completed ballot cards in the return envelope, sign and date the return envelope!!!, and then put the return envelope in any blue USPS mailbox or official county ballot drop box. More info here.
Important: USPS rules have changed. Don’t mail your ballot in the last week of May. If you haven’t returned your ballot yet by then, drop it off in an SF ballot drop box.
After you drop off your ballot: Track your ballot, either with the City’s Voter Portal or with the state’s Where’s My Ballot? system, to see when it’s received and when it’s counted. Tracking your ballot is also a fast way to learn if there’s an issue that requires you to cure your ballot, such as forgetting to sign the return envelope.
