How do I request an absentee ballot?
You will receive a sample ballot pamphlet in the mail approximately 4-5 weeks prior to an election that you are eligible to vote in. The back cover of the sample ballot will have an application to request an absentee ballot. If you complete, sign and mail the application to the Elections Division so that we receive it prior to the 7th day before the election, we will mail your ballot to the address specified on the application. If you receive your ballot at a P.O. Box, you must indicate your residence address. It is not necessary to wait for your sample ballot to request an absentee ballot. You may request a ballot on your plain piece of paper and mail it to: Sutter County Elections, 1435 Veterans Memorial Circle, Yuba City, CA 95993 or fax (530) 822-7587.
