As California's primary election approaches on June 2, state officials are urging voters to mail their ballots by today to ensure they are counted. A recent change in the United States Postal Service's processing of mail means that ballots dropped off at post offices and collection boxes located more than 50 miles from a regional hub will not be picked up until the following day. This change could result in mail-in ballots being postmarked after the June 2 deadline, which is crucial for their eligibility. Voters who miss the mailing deadline can still ensure their ballots are counted by dropping them off at designated voting centers or ballot boxes. Additionally, those voting in person have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to cast their votes. The upcoming election features significant races, including the contest for Los Angeles mayor and the California governor's seat. For those who have not registered yet, same-day registration is an option at local voting centers, providing an opportunity for last-minute participation in the electoral process.
