If I submit a change of address through USPS will my ballot be forwarded to the new address?
NO. Ballots are not forwardable. It is one of the security features of our system. You must inform election officials of your temporary address using one of the methods above in order to have your ballot sent there.
Do I need to register to vote from my temporary address? NO. You do not need to re-register to vote if you are living somewhere temporarily because you have been displaced by wildfires. You just need to let election officials know where to mail your ballot by one
of the methods above.
Will I be able to vote on the local measures where my permanent address is located even if I am temporarily living outside that area? YES. The ballot you receive will contain the contests for your residential address, not your temporary mailing address.
