It provides us with a known data point for the current election, helping make the estimate more precise from the outset. In some states, election officials will also tell us how many people voted in person on Election Day. Once polls close and we start getting actual returns, we further refine the estimate with actual data. Every active registered voter will automatically receive a ballot in
the mail nearly a month before Election Day. You can make voting
decisions and complete your mail ballot in the comfort of your home.

Your Social Security number will appear on reports produced only for official use by voter registration and election officials, and for jury selection purposes by courts. The County Recorder is in charge of voter registration and early voting. The County Recorder’s Office processes and maintains voter registration records, mails out early ballots and verifies early ballot affidavits and the voter signature. The County Recorder reviews and verifies every mail ballot to confirm the identity of the voter prior to the ballot being counted. After completing the voter registration application, it can be mailed or delivered to the Supervisor of Elections office. A voter identification card will be mailed to the applicant approximately 2-3 weeks after the application is processed.

Extractor teams of two or three staff members work each machine, batching up to 300 Vote-by-Mail return envelopes at a time. This higher-speed precision process can be viewed on our YouTube channel in a 30-second video. If your proxy is going to be away from your home on election day, they you can apply for their proxy ballot paper to be posted to them. When you vote in person, you will visit the polling station allocated to you based on your address on your electoral address. AP employs dozens of quality checks on the results it collects and tabulates, and quite often, we’re able to spot errors and inform local election officials about an unusual number before it’s published. But on occasion, an honest mistake does make it past elections officials and AP alike.

Elections & Administration
