Vote-by-Mail Ballots

Since the passage of Assembly Bill No. 37 in 2021, all active, registered voters in California are automatically mailed a ballot in every election. As a result, there is no longer a generic Vote-by-Mail application.

Getting a Replacement Ballot

Did your Vote-by-Mail ballot never arrive? Did you lose it? Did your pet eat it? No problem! Starting 29 days before an election, you can request a replacement with the application below. Please note our office must receive this application seven or more days before Election Day. If our office receives it six or fewer days before the election, no replacement ballot will be mailed, even if the application was mailed and postmarked seven or more days before the election. For further information, go to our Vote by Mail page, call us at (707) 565-6800, or email us at rov-absentee@sonoma-county.org.

Requesting a Remote Accessible Vote-by-Mail Ballot

All counties are required to provide an accessible Vote-by-Mail option which is available to any voter, but can be particularly useful for voters with disabilities because of its accessibility features. This system allows voters to access their correct ballot online using their own device, such as a personal computer, and mark their choices, with the option of using their own assistive technology. Once the ballot choices have been marked, the voter is required to print out the selections and return the Remote Accessible Vote-by-Mail Ballot. Remote Accessible Vote-by-Mail Ballots may be returned using the same methods available to return a regular paper Vote-by-Mail ballot. For more information, go to our Accessible Voting page, call us at (707) 565-6800, or email us at rov-absentee@sonoma-county.org. ***For the November 5, 2024, General Election, applications for Remote Accessible Vote-by-Mail Ballots must be received by Monday, November 4, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time***
