MADERA COUNTY – Rebecca Martinez, County Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters, wants to remind voters who Vote by Mail to return your ballot early and most importantly remember to SIGN your blue return identification envelope.
A Vote by Mail ballot cannot be counted without a signature.
If you already returned your ballot, and the signature was missing or does not match Elections Division records, you will receive notification and a form for your completion.
Voted ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received within three days of the election to be considered timely.
No postage is needed to return your ballot by mail. Ballots may also be dropped off at secure Ballot Drop Boxes or to any Vote Center in Madera County.
To avoid lines, vote before Election Day. Vote Centers are open on weekends!
If you don’t want to vote the ballot that was mailed to you, you can vote at any Vote Center in Madera County.
