A statewide program designed to allow disabled, military, and overseas Californians to print out their ballot choices remotely or at home using a computer and printer has been available to the general public for months, yet it’s not widely understood.

In January 2020, California implemented the Remote Accessible Vote-by-Mail (RAVBM) program, which provides voters with a potentially faster and easier alternative to filling out a regular mail-in ballot with a pen.
