Streetsblog California warned voters that changes to UPS policy might make ballots cast by mail after the weekend not be postmarked on time to be counted. The polls are closed, the voters have spoken, and the election results bode well for transit.

@streetsblogcal

If you live away from the Bay, LA, OC, or SD...it might be too late to vote by mail. Make a plan! Changes to state law might mean a ballot mailed today or tomorrow (11/3/2025-11/4/2025) might not be postmarked in time. Find a county ballot collection box or a polling location if you haven't voted yet and live outside the four urban USPS collection centers.
