With such a short time frame, L.A. County's registrar says ballot preparations are being fast-tracked, but he's confident everything will be ready.
In less than one month, L.A. County voters will receive their vote-by-mail ballots for the redistricting special election. But what if you lost your home or were displaced by the Eaton and Palisades Fires?
"It's important if you were impacted by that, that you go online and update your registration, add that temporary mailing address so we can be sure a ballot gets to you," said L.A. County Registrar Dean Logan. "In the event that a ballot doesn't get to you, again, that's that fail-safe method of having those vote centers located throughout the county for that 11-day voting period."
The registrar doesn't forward ballots because they're specific to where you're registered, which is why an official address change is necessary.
Campaigns in favor of and against the redistricting measure are already flooding the airwaves.

Some candidates are already launching campaigns for redrawn districts, even though there's no guarantee Prop 50 will pass.
San Diego councilmember Marni von Wilpert is running against Republican Congressman Darrell Issa. The new 48th district would include parts of the Inland Empire, including Hemet.
"Texas voters didn't have a choice. Here in California, we are doing this the most Democratic way by giving voters a voice at the voting box to determine if they want to redistrict or not," von Wilpert said. "Redistricting will allow the opportunity for young professional women like me to run for Congress, and it is exciting."
L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis has also said she'll run for Congress if Prop 50 passes.
In a statement, Solis said, in part, "As the president attacks workers, immigrants, educators, housing that working people can afford, women's reproductive rights, veterans' services, labor unions, the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid/Medi-Cal - and democracy itself - we must fight back. I've been standing up for the people - and against Trump - as a supervisor, and now it's time to campaign for the House and fight for the people and democracy in the Congress."
The state of California is paying for the special election.
"These are unprecedented times. We have not seen this kind of federal intervention in our communities before. It is illegal, I want to be really clear, it is illegal to intimidate voters," Logan said in response to Newsom's fears that the National Guard could show up to polling places. "It is illegal to have a law enforcement presence at voting locations. So we are going to work with our local officials to enforce the laws of the state of California."
Ballots will be mailed out on Oct. 2, and in-person voting locations in L.A. County open on Oct. 25.
