Sign up to get notifications when your ballot gets mailed out and when it gets counted.
You’ll get your ballot in your mail in early October. Once you have your ballot, 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 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..
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.

Vote Forward is writing letters to build voter turnout in several states.
Activate America is writing and phone banking for a variety of races in California and a couple of other states.
Grassroots Democrats HQ is also writing to turn out the vote in California and a few other states.
Indivisible National has Majority over MAGA Mail. They’ll provide the postcards, the postage, and the lists—you write and send them from home. They’re also writing letters with Vote Forward.
