If your mail ballot envelope wasn’t signed, or the signature doesn’t match the one on your voter record, the county sets your ballot aside. Fixing it is called “curing,” and it gets your vote counted.
The deadline is 5 p.m. Wednesday, November 25.
How to Cure Your Ballot
- Check your status at Where’s My Ballot?, the Secretary of State’s free tracker.
- Watch your mail. If there’s a problem, the county sends a notice with a form. It may also email or call you if you gave them your contact information when you registered.
- Return the form to your county elections office before the deadline. Ventura County voters can use the county’s signature statement. Every other county’s form is on the Secretary of State’s Ballot Signature Cures page.
- Questions? Call the Ventura County Elections Hotline at 800-500-3555.
The signature you send in also becomes your signature on file for future elections.
