Mail-in ballots were distributed starting October 1 to registered voters in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Officials in Orange and Riverside counties implemented security measures for equipment transport and established backup generator depots to prevent disruptions from power or internet outages.
While city and county clerks encouraged residents to use early voting and drop boxes to ensure their ballots are cast, the community group Inner City Struggle raised concerns regarding potential voter intimidation. The November 3 ballot includes contests for governor, statewide offices, congressional and state legislative seats, and various local measures.
