Any registered voter may vote by vote-by-mail ballot. Rather than go to the polls to cast a ballot on election day, you may apply for a vote-by-mail ballot, which you will need to complete and return to the Registrar of Voters Office.
The application form is on the back cover of the sample ballot and voter information pamphlet. Voters may use the application form, or apply in person or by letter. The vote by mail ballot request must include the registered name, residence address, signature and address to which the ballot is to be sent.
Vote by mail applications are not required from voters who have previously applied for "permanent vote by mail voter" status. These voters will be automatically sent a ballot as soon as ballots are available. The "permanent vote by mail voter" classification is available to any voter. Once placed on the permanent list, a voter remains on it as long as he or she does not fail to vote a ballot in two consecutive Statewide General Elections. Download a "permanent vote by mail" application from the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters office.
For more information on vote by mail, call the Registrar of Voters Office at (909) 387-2047 or 2048.
