Vote by Mail FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q:  Will my vote count?
A:   Yes. Every valid Vote By Mail ballot will be counted. You can track the status of your returned Vote By Mail ballot online.

Q:  Is it secure?
A:   Yes. The signature on the back of the return envelope is compared with the voter’s original signature on the registration form to ensure that an unauthorized person can not complete and return another voter’s ballot.

Q:  Do I have to mail it?
A:   No. You can deliver your ballot to the Registrar of Voters’ Office or place it in the white 24-hour drop box located near the flagpole. You can also take your ballot to any Santa Clara County polling place on Election Day or to any city hall before or on Election Day. Click here for a complete list of drop-off locations.
