But I believe, by law, they can't start counting them until the polls close. Your ballot will be cued up into the tabulating machine, and at 8:01 they turn it on.

I saved the state fifty cents, or whatever the USPS charges the state for postage these days, by dropping my ballot of at the lock box positioned at my Podunk city hall yesterday. It's collected every morning so, I will check with my county later this afternoon to see if they received it.

This is a message from San Diego Registrar of Voters. Your ballot for the September 14, 2021, Gubernatorial Recall Election was received and counted. Thank you for voting!

I have read several posts that suggest only writing "No" without choosing a candidate. That is how I'm leaning.

But no emails/texts saying it's been received. I think I got confirmations almost immediately in the 2020 general election.

Will need to make a few calls to make sure my NO NO NO NO NO vote has been registered!
