Voters can return the ballots by mail in a pre-paid envelop or by dropping them off the in person vote centers located at Parnell and Palm Parks or with the City Clerk's office at city hall located at 13230 Penn St, Whittier. City hall closes at 5pm everyday. The number for the City Clerk's office is 562 567-9999 for more information.
