After you return your ballot
When your ballot is received, your signature on the return envelope will be compared to the signature on your voter registration card. You will be contacted by the elections department if there are any issues that would prevent your ballot from being counted.
Your ballot will then be separated from the envelope to protect your privacy.
All valid ballots are counted in every election in California, regardless of the outcome or closeness of any race.
Check to see if the elections office has received your ballot for the June 7, 2022 Statewide Direct Primary Election.
If you receive notification that your signature does not match the signature on your voter registration card, or that you forgot to sign your ballot envelope, your vote can still count. Download, complete and return the Ballot Signature Verification form as soon as possible, but no later than July 5, 2022.
