VOTE SAFE at Early Voting Locations
One or more early voting locations will be available in many counties beginning before the September 14, 2021, election. Voting locations will offer voter registration, replacement ballots, accessible voting machines, and language assistance.
You can help keep voting locations safe for voters and election workers in these two ways:
Skip the line.
- You can return completed ballots by mail with no stamp needed, at a secure ballot drop box, or at a voting location. Voting locations will have separate lines for voters dropping off completed ballots.
Find a nearby drop box or early voting location at caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov or vote.ca.gov. 
Vote early.
- If you visit a voting location in person, go before Election Day. One or more voting locations in many counties will be open prior to Election Day.
Elections offices will begin sending vote-by-mail ballots to California voters no later than August 16, 2021. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by September 14, 2021; ballots returned at a secure ballot drop box must be deposited by 8:00 p.m. on September 14, 2021.
