Voters can view the Early Mobile Voting schedule by contacting the Registrar of Voters’ office or by visiting the website at www. co.imperial.ca.us/regvoters and clicking the “Early Voting Opportunities” tab.

Vote-by-mail ballots may also be mailed by affixing the correct amount of first class postage and mailing via U.S. mail. Ballots must be post-marked on or before Nov. 6 and received within three days of the election to be considered timely.

Voters are encouraged to submit ballots at least seven to 10 days prior to Election Day to ensure those votes are included in the first election results on Election Day.
