California’s Secretary of State has received ten times as many ballots than at this time in the 2016 general election. So far, 1.5 million ballots have been returned.
With over 21-million registered voters in California, the huge voting numbers are a sign of both voter enthusiasm and voters heeding the call to vote early.
“More Californians voting early will mean a safer Election Day for everyone,” according to Secretary of State Alex Padilla. By voting early, Padilla says you will help preserve in-person voting for those who need it—including neighbors with disabilities, those who need language assistance, or those who need access to Same-Day Voter Registration.
