Ways to Vote and Who Can Help

in  Sunnyvale and Cupertino, California

Sorry, But :

• You can NOT vote on your phone
• You can NOT send in your vote on your computer

If someone says you can, here's the straight answer: 

There is a partly-computerized system called Remote Accessible Vote by Mail System (RAVBM). 

• BUT It used to be available only to voters with disabilities or military or overseas voters. 
• BUT: as of 2022,  under California law all registered voters can use the RAVBM system.

So YES, you CAN use RAVBM on your computer or tablet at home,  to fill out the ballot

• and, IF you have features such as touchscreen or screen reader, you can use them to help you.
  

• BUT:   (here's the partly-computerized part)

• It's an application you download to a computer or tablet
• You CAN'T return your completed ballot via the Internet ("To preserve  your privacy and security")
  
• When you're finished voting on the computer,  as an RAVBM user you must:
  • print your completed ballot, 
  • place the printed ballot in the original Vote by Mail envelope that was mailed to you with your vote-by-mail ballot,
  • sign the envelope, and
  • return it to the Registrar of Voters in time for your ballot to be counted
    • you can also check CAearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov for Ballot drop-off locations

 Check it out here: RAVBM.

If you are registered to vote in Santa Clara County, you can request a  RAVBM Ballot   starting 29 days before the election.
