Resolving Unsigned Mail Ballots and Provisional Ballots
When the Registrar of Voters receives a voted mail ballot or provisional ballot without the voter’s signature on the return envelope, the Registrar of Voters is unable to count that ballot. However, California law allows voters another chance to correct their mail ballot or provisional ballot up until two days before the election results are certified. These voters are notified by mail that they may:
- Go to the Registrar of Voters to sign the mail ballot or provisional ballot return envelope in person, or
- Complete and return an Unsigned Ballot Statement.
If you received a letter from the Registrar of Voters stating that your mail ballot or provisional ballot return envelope was not signed, go to the Registrar of Voters to sign your envelope, or complete and return an Unsigned Ballot Statement.

Resolving Non-Matching Signatures on Mail Ballots and Provisional Ballots

These voters are notified by mail that they may:
- Go to the Registrar of Voters to sign the Signature Verification Statement in person.

If you received a letter from the Registrar of Voters stating that your signature on your mail ballot return envelope or provisional ballot did not compare with your signature on file, complete and return a Signature Verification Statement immediately.
