Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) An eligible elector may obtain a replacement ballot if the ballot that was originally mailed to the elector was destroyed, spoiled, lost, or for some other reason not received by the elector. To obtain a replacement ballot by mail, the elector shall make a request to the county clerk and recorder for a replacement ballot no later than the eighth day before an election. The county clerk shall not mail a replacement ballot to the elector making the request if the clerk has already received a ballot for that election from the elector making the request.

(2)(a) Commencing on the fifteenth day before the election, the county clerk and recorder shall deliver any ballot that must be sent by mail to the United States postal service within two business days after processing a registration application or an update to a voter registration record that requires a new ballot to be sent to an elector.

(b) Commencing on the eleventh day before the election, the county clerk and recorder shall mail all mail ballots to electors by first-class mail.

(c) Commencing on the eighth day before an election, the county clerk and recorder shall deliver to the United States postal service any ballot that must be sent by mail within two business days after receiving a registration application or an update to a voter registration record that results in the issuance of an original or a replacement mail ballot to an elector.

(d) Any county clerk who receives information from the United States postal service or any other third party indicating that ballots have been lost, stolen, or will, for any reason, not be timely delivered to electors, shall report the issue to the secretary of state.
