Don’t forget to sign your Vote by Mail ballot envelope! Your ballot cannot be counted without a valid signature that compares to the one in your record. @sanmateoco

You can drop your ballot off at an official Drop Box, at a Vote Center, or with USPS. If you are mailing your ballot close to E-Day, take it inside a post office to get a hand postmark. Ballots must be postmarked by November 3 and received by November 10 to be counted! smcvote.gov

If you are mailing your ballot on Election Day (November 3), take it INSIDE the post office and get a manual postmark from a post office employee. Otherwise, your ballot might be postmarked late. Mailed ballots must be postmarked on or before Nov. 3 and received by Nov. 10.

To ensure your ballot is postmarked by Election Day, make sure to mail it at least 7 days in advance. Mailed ballots must be postmarked on or before November 3. @sanmateoco
