The short answer is no, according to the California secretary of state’s office. “The only possible impact would be if United States Postal Service operations were interrupted and the USPS has noted that their operations won’t be interrupted,” a spokesperson for the secretary of state said in an email.

Over 3 million mail ballots have been returned in the special election about redrawing congressional districts. Political observers were surprised.

Voters can find help at these centers with obtaining a replacement ballot, registering to vote, casting a provisional ballot and more.
