Your official mail ballot identification envelope has a barcode that identifies it as yours. When you return your voted ballot to the Registrar of Voters, your mail ballot envelope will be scanned on a mail sorting machine, capturing an image of your signature.
County staff will verify your signature on the mail ballot identification envelope compares to the signature on your voter registration record before the ballot is removed from the envelope and counted.
If your signature does not compare to the signature on file with your voter registration or you forget to sign your ballot identification envelope, the Registrar of Voters will notify you by mail, attempt to reach you by phone or email, and provide you with an opportunity to resolve the issue.
