Happy California official canvass deadline day, to all who celebrate
December 5 (30 days after election day) is the final final day for certifying elections in California. Usually, many California counties have certified before today. But this year, as a one-time only change responding to some 60,000 ballots left uncounted in 2022 due to signature issues, the state legislature left a longer period for voters to cure those mistakes, effectively precluding certification for most counties until December 3.
