§ 15321 Mail Ballot Precinct Tabulation

This law says that for any big election or a special election to fill an empty seat in Congress or the state legislature, all mail ballots and in‑person votes must be counted by each precinct.

Key Takeaways

•Both mail‑in and in‑person votes are counted together.
•The counting is done precinct by precinct.
•It applies to statewide elections and special elections for congressional or legislative seats.

Example

A special election is held to replace a state representative who resigned. Voters can mail in their ballots or vote at the local polling place.

When the votes are tallied, the election officials add up the mail votes and the votes cast at the polling place separately for each precinct, then combine them to get the total for that precinct.

For any statewide election or special election to fill a vacancy in a congressional or legislative office, votes cast by vote by mail ballot and votes cast at the polling place shall be tabulated by precinct. (Amended by Stats. 2007, Ch. 508, Sec. 104. Effective January 1, 2008.)
