With mail-in rules uncertain, here’s how Californians can prepare to vote in November
County election officials are urging voters to mail ballots early and use drop boxes as courts weigh the Trump administration’s postal plan.
- California counties are preparing to mail ballots by the October 5 deadline, even as the state remains locked in a legal battle with the administration of President Donald Trump over universal mail-in voting.
- Trump issued an executive order in March seeking federal control over mail-in ballots, but federal courts upheld a temporary injunction preventing the United States Postal Service from implementing the plan while litigation continues.
- According to Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a postal service whistleblower asserted the proposed "Federal ballot mail portal" was "rushed" and "risky and haphazard," creating risk of "catastrophic failure" that could "derail the midterm elections."
- "California counties are doing business as usual," said Tricia Webber, Santa Cruz County registrar, as local officials urge voters to use drop-boxes and in-person sites to avoid potential postal service delays.
- "This whole play may backfire," said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation, as court drama spurs social media campaigns urging voters to cast ballots early ahead of the November 3 election.
