One can still complete a provisional ballot.

"Do I Need To Bring My Mail-In Ballot To The Polls?

All registered voters were sent a mail-in ballot. While some county election officials are encouraging voters to bring this with them, it’s not required. Salinas of Yolo County said voters who “surrender” their mail-in ballot help the county more quickly cancel out that ballot.

Sam Mahood, spokesman for the Secretary of State’s Office, said voters who live in counties with traditional polling places (not the vote center counties), “will have to cast a provisional ballot if they do not bring their vote-by-mail ballot to the polls. The provisional ballot will be processed and counted once the elections office can verify their voter’s registration.”"
