2020 General Election in California

Prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic, some registered voters in California that applied well in advance of an election to receive a special ballot were able to vote early and by mail. Previously that early voting was made possible with a California Absentee Ballot. For the 2020 general election in California, that method of voting has been supplanted with Vote-by-Mail -- for ALL registered voters in California.

Given some prerequisites, individuals can apply to be a registered voter in California at this website:
