Voted mail ballots must be placed in the official return envelope provided, and the voter must sign the certificate on the backside of the envelope in order for the ballot to be counted. Voters may drop off their voted ballot at any open Early Voting site or to the 24/7 ballot drop box outside the Supervisor of Elections office. Mail ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections office no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
