El Centro, CA - The Imperial County Registrar of Voters is reminding voters that if their vote-by-mail ballot envelope was returned without a signature or if the signature on the envelope does not match the voter’s signature on file, they still have an opportunity to ensure their vote is counted.
California law provides voters the opportunity to "cure" their ballot by completing and returning the appropriate form to verify their identity. The curing process helps protect election integrity while ensuring that eligible voters have every opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
Voters whose ballots require curing will be notified by mail and may also be contacted by phone, email, or text message if that information is available. Voters are encouraged to respond as soon as possible to avoid missing the June 24, 2026 deadline.
To cure a ballot, voters must complete and submit the Challenged Ballot form. If your ballot was challenged, you should receive a letter in the mail. Copies may also be obtained at the Registrar of Voters’ website – www.elections.imperialcounty.org. Completed forms may be returned by mail, email, fax, or in person to the Imperial County Registrar of Voters Office.
The deadline for voters to cure their ballot is June 24, 2026.
Voters can check the status of their ballot through California’s BallotTrax system at www.wheresmyballot.com or by contacting the Imperial County Registrar of Voters Office.
