If there is any question about whether your absentee ballot has been received, you can go to any Burlingame polling place and fill out a "provisional ballot" that will be counted only in the event that your absentee ballot is not found.
Absentee ballots must be received by the Elections Office no later than 8p.m. on Election Day. You can deliver your ballot to 40 Tower Road in San Mateo or drop it at any Burlingame polling place.
If you did not apply for an absentee ballot but find that you will be out of town on Election Day, you may vote in person at the Elections Office at
40 Tower Road in San Mateo.
