According to the Secretary of State, ballots being personally delivered must be handed in by the close of polls on June 7, 2016. Mailed ballots must be postmarked on or before June 7 and received by your county elections office no later than June 10.

The registrar of voters from each of California's 58 counties will begin releasing election results at their discretion, after 8 p.m. Some counties will have results just after the polls close., while others won't start releasing results until later. In most locations, the first wave of results will include vote-by-mail ballots returned before June 7.
