Just a day before Election Day, several California voters still have questions about their ballots.
KCRA has received several inquiries, notably about missing ballots or issues with voting after a recent move. We took those questions to Sacramento County elections officials. Here's what to know.
Q: What do I do if I don’t get my ballot?
Sacramento County Elections: “If you have not received your ballot yet it’s not too late. You can pop by any of the 88 vote centers that we have open throughout the county, and just go to the election workers there and let them know that you need a ballot. They will print one out for you and you can vote your ballot there.”
Q: What if I moved to another state and voted there, but still received a ballot from my former state? What do I do with the second ballot?
Sacramento County Elections: “Election mail isn’t forwardable so the US Postal Service should not be forwarding your ballot to a new address. That probably shouldn’t happen. If for some reason, it does happen, just remember you only get one vote, it’s one vote nationwide, this is a national election if you’ve already cast a ballot and don’t get to cast another.”
California Office of The Secretary of State: “The SOS does work with states post-election to investigate any potential double voting.”
Q: What if I live in Sacramento County, but I’m registered in another county, how can I vote where I live?
Sacramento County Elections: “Sacramento County offers remote accessible vote by mail to deliver ballots electronically to voters. Those ballots can be marked and printed and returned to the elections office via mail or ballot drop box.”
Remember, while vote centers close at 8 p.m. Tuesday, if you’re in line by that time, you will still be allowed to cast your vote.
