California Attorney General Says ‘Mail-in Voting Is Safe’

Bonta said 89% of Californians voted by mail in the June primary and urged voters to return ballots early or use drop boxes.

  • On Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta held a press conference to reassure voters that the November 3, 2026, General Election will proceed as "business as usual" despite federal threats to mail-in voting.
  • Recent U.S. Supreme Court victories blocked Trump administration attempts to restrict mail voting, protecting ballot deadlines and postal service handling processes against federal intervention.
  • Counties began distributing mail-in ballots this week across California's 58 counties, continuing a trend where over 89 percent of voters in the June 2026 primary cast ballots by mail.
  • Bonta condemned potential federal interference at polling places, stating "it's a crime to send armed federal law enforcement, including ICE, to polling places," and pledged to deploy state election observers.
  • Election authorities recommend voters mail ballots at least a week before Election Day or use secure drop boxes, as postal service changes may delay collection in areas more than 50 miles from regional hubs.
