After filling out your ballot, insert it in the provided envelope and mail it to your county elections office. Mail ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day — Tuesday, Nov. 5 — and received by the elections office no later than seven days after Election Day, according to the California Secretary of State’s office.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy pledged Thursday that the US Postal Service will undertake “heroic efforts” to deliver all mail-in ballots on time this year and urged people to put their ballots in the mail at least one week before Election Day on November 5.

Is USPS ready for the election? Post office and elections officials at odds over the mail's capability ahead of November.

U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy expressed frustration Thursday to reporters about the ongoing criticism from election officials about how the agency handles mail-in ballots, saying it is wrong to suggest they could be displaced.
