Andrea,
A friend just told me they are concerned because their mail ballot has not been received and counted. They mailed it on the 17th of August and all of us who mailed ours later than the 17th, already had ours received and
accepted..........what should they do? The registrar told them to request a provisional ballot...is that right?

If the ballot doesn't show up as received soon, they can apply to receive a new ballot if it is damaged or lost here:

https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/county-elections-offices

Applications for a new ballot must be received by county officials 7 days before the election, or September 7th.

Hope this helps Chowder.
