Hey Folks,

Please thoroughly read the instructions for your county.  Below is a general overview, but it is important that you follow all the instructions for your county. I've listed the 5 Bay area counties below.  However, you should be able to find the Ballot Marking Tool for any county in California by googling for

your county remote accessible vote ballot marking tool

For example

San Francisco county remote accessible vote ballot marking tool

It's possible that in your county it's called the RAVBM (Remote Access Vote Ballot Markup)

The general work flow is that you browse to the Ballot Marking Tool portal for your county, fill out the ballot, print the ballot or save the ballot as a PDF and print it elsewhere, sign the ballot envelope, put the ballot in the ballot envelope, put the ballot envelope into the mailing envelope, get the ID number off the mailing envelope for ballot tracking, and then mail the mailing envelope.

Here are the sites for the 5 bay area counties.

San Francisco County

Alameda County

San Mateo County

Contra Costa County: Accessible Vote-By-Mail

NOTE, The instructions for Contra Costa county indicate that you'll need the access code on the envolope that came with your ballot. This is clearly not accessible.
