Due to the coronavirus pandemic, every active registered voter in California will receive a ballot in the mail. According to the office, people who want to vote in person will have the opportunity to do so, "but they may run into long lines, both at the polls and the registrar's office."

The Registrar of Voters office also encouraged residents to double-check their voter registration ahead of time. The office will be preparing ballots for the mail by mid-September, and ballots will start going out to registered voters the week of Oct. 5.
