"Weber reminded voters that the best place to go for accurate information about their ballot is the secretary of state's website at www.sos.ca.gov or the websites of county registrars' offices. Voters wishing to track the status of their ballot can sign up through california.ballottrax.net, which the secretary of state recommends. They can also check their voter status at voterstatus.sos.ca.gov. Voters with questions or concerns may also call the secretary of state's toll-free voter hotline at 800-345-8683."
""We urge Californians to only trust information shared by my office or their county registrar of voter's office," Weber said. Weber's office, responding to questions about whether any crime had been committed or if the text messages violated any election law, said in an email that staff members "do not know the intent behind the Ballot Now text messages and we are working to get to the bottom of it.""
Inaccurate Ballot Now text messages told numerous California voters that their redistricting special-election ballots had not been received or processed, creating confusion. The messages did not originate from the California Secretary of State's office or from county registrars. Voters are advised to verify ballot status using the Secretary of State website (www.sos.ca.gov), county registrar websites, BallotTrax at california.ballottrax.net, or voterstatus.sos.ca.gov, and to use the toll-free hotline 800-345-8683 for assistance. State election staff are investigating the origin and intent of the messages. Voters should rely only on official state or county election sources for information.
