But I don't mind sticking two stamps on the envelope. It's helping the USPS financially, and it's worth the buck to me not to have to stand in line.

'No Stamp, No Problem' - All Vote-by-Mail Ballots Now Come with Prepaid Postage Return Envelopes
SACRAMENTO, CA – 2019 is the first year that all California vote-by-mail ballots will come with prepaid postage return envelopes and Secretary of State Alex Padilla is announcing a new social media campaign to educate voters about this change. Today also marks the beginning of vote-by-mail ballots being sent to voters for the March 26, 2019 Special Primary Elections in Senate Districts 1 and 33 — these are the first state elections to occur under the new prepaid postage return envelope law.

“In California, it's now 'No Stamp, No Problem' for vote-by-mail voters,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. “Once you've filled out your vote-by-mail ballot, simply place it in the return envelope, seal the envelope, sign on the designated line, and place it into the mail box. For over a decade, Californians have been increasingly choosing to vote-by-mail. Providing prepaid postage on all vote-by-mail return envelopes makes this option even more convenient for voters. It's another way we can make it easier to participate in our democracy."

for mail in ballots and I used two stamps just because I didn't want to worry about the postage. This year, the state picked up the tab but all voting is by mail.
