The Secure the Vote Initiative is dedicated to identifying and training voters to vote quickly and legally. The effort also aims to track and report problem ballots in our push for election integrity and security.
Many voters are rightfully worried about the integrity of the election. The first step in securing the vote... is to vote! Here's how to do so quickly and legally, and how you can track your ballot to make sure it's counted. Just follow the S.A.F.E. method below!
SEND: Mail in your ballot on Day 1 of the election! Do NOT wait until the day of the election, as the state has cut back on polling places and long lines will suppress the vote! Voting on Day 1 gives you the full 30 days of the election to verify your vote is counted or resolve any problems.
AUDIT: Track and verify your vote was 1) received and 2) counted online at WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov. Check often until your vote is counted and verified!
FIX: If you have a problem OR your ballot isn’t counted by Day 20 of the election, go to the nearest polling location and demand a second "provisional" ballot, then vote in-person. DON'T wait until Election Day!
EXAMINE: Share this information with your friends and family! Then sign up as a volunteer below to examine and monitor the processing and counting of ballots.
The Secure the Vote California Initiative is declaring the first Sunday of each election season as “Safe Vote Sunday” and is seeking to partner with churches, community groups, and others to encourage voters to return their ballots for California’s election on or before that day.

Across California, each county election office needs to recruit part-time temporary paid workers to process ballots in each election. We want to make sure only individuals who are FAIR and IMPARTIAL take these jobs.
If you are willing to do this paid job and commit to doing it with integrity, please sign up and we will forward your name and information to the county election office nearest you!
