In reply to the discussion: CA PRIMARY UPDATE: Bernie Sanders Flips 3 Counties Today!... [View all]still_one
(96,436 posts)28. All ballots are counted in California, including provisional ballots, no matter what the
margin. If it is a mail in ballot, as long as it is post marked on or before election day, and arrives at the county office within three days after the election it is counted.
All ballots are counted, including provisional ballots after election officials have confirmed that the voter is registered to vote in that county, and that they did not already vote in that election.
You may vote a provisional ballot at any polling place in the county in which you are registered to vote, however, only the elections contests you are eligible to vote for will be counted.
The status of a provisional ballot can be checked here:
