CA-25: All voters to receive mail ballots in runoff election to succeed Rep. Katie Hill

To help contain the spread of coronavirus, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday that all voters in Congressional District 25 should receive ballots in the mail ahead of May 12 special election triggered by the resignation of Rep. Katie Hill, D-Agua Dulce.

"Whereas hundreds of local governments across the state have also declared states of emergency, imposed or recommended social distancing, and taken other significant steps in response to COVID-19," Newsom wrote in an executive order released Friday evening. The special election shall "be held as an all-mail ballot election."

With the decision, California joins jurisdictions throughout the country that are adapting their procedures to minimize health risks associated with in-person voting. Seven states and Puerto Rico have postponed their presidential primary elections.

Although all voters will receive mail ballots, there will be a limited number of polling places for voters in need of day-of assistance or replacement ballots.
