Elections: vote by mail ballots.
Summary
Existing law requires that the vote by mail ballot be available to any registered voter and requires an application for a vote by mail voter's ballot to be made in writing to the elections official having jurisdiction over the election between the 29th and the 7th day before the election. Existing law requires any applications received by the elections official before the 29th day to be kept and processed during the application period.
