4:00 p.m.: So you left it to the last minute but still want to vote? Fear not. Polls are open in California until 8 p.m. tonight, and you can still vote several ways:
1) Take your ballot to a post office and get it postmarked by today, March 5. All ballots postmarked by Election Day must be counted under California law, as long as they are received by election officials no later than seven days after Election Day.
2) To vote in person, even if you aren’t registered yet, find your polling place at the Secretary of State’s website by entering your address. As long as you are in line by 7:59 p.m., you will be allowed to vote.
3) Have a ballot and want to drop it off at a county drop-off box? Here’s a list of where those are. They must be dropped off by 8:00 p.m. tonight.
