California experienced a record high of nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots rejected during its June primary election. The primary reason for these rejections was ballots arriving too late, with a significant portion also being postmarked after Election Day. Experts and voting advocates are concerned about potential impacts from recent changes within the U.S. Postal Service that may affect postmark dates and mail processing times, especially given the state's efforts to increase voter participation.
