All California voters to receive mail-in ballot for November election, but in-person voting will remain
All registered voters in California will receive a mail-in ballot for the upcoming November election, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced during his daily pandemic briefing.
Posted — UpdatedThe state is not moving to mail-only, however, and in-person voting will remain an option.
"Mail-in voting is important, but it is not an exclusive substitute to physical locations," the Democratic governor said, noting that some people are simply not comfortable mailing in a ballot.
"This election is slated to be the most consequential election of our lifetime," Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. "We remain committed to providing as many safe, in-person opportunities to vote as possible on and before Election Day."
Postage on ballots will be pre-paid, Padilla added.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
