Sacramento, CA – On Thursday, June 18, 2020 California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill requiring county officials statewide to mail a ballot to every voter registered for the November election. The law solidifies the governor’s previous order to mail out ballots statewide in response to the coronavirus outbreak. “No one should have to risk their health and possibly their life to exercise their constitutional right to vote, said Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park) who sponsored the legislation. Although every registered voter will receive a mail-in ballot, in person voting locations will be available for those who might need them or still prefer to cast their ballots in person.
