This link on the County Clerk's Twitter account gives you a 30 second peek at the office as they start to receive mail in ballots.  (You don't need a Twitter account to view it - just click the link.)

" The first day ballots could be mailed was 9/24. It should take 5-7 days for the ballot to make it to you. So don't panic that your ballot hasn't arrived yet. We are having a lot of voters who have requested a ballot that are showing up to vote in person. This is something you can do as long as you fill out the affidavit saying you want to vote in person. If you have requested a vote by mail and then decided to vote in person, your vote by mail ballot might still be mailed to you. In the event you have already voted in person and your vote by mail arrives, please shred/destroy the ballot. There is no way for a voter to vote more than once, Our voter registration program tracks how, when and who votes and will not allow a person to vote more than once."
