We are 13 days away from the Nov. 4 Statewide Special Election and ballots are in hand (and hopefully already filled out and on their way back to the Elections Office, either by mail or Drop Box). But never fear, if you haven’t yet returned your voted ballot, you still have plenty of time.
For those voters who missed the Oct. 20 voter registration deadline, you can still visit the Election’s Office in-person or visit one of the Vote Centers that open starting Oct. 25 to conditionally register and vote.
Vote: Pick a Way, ANY Way
Choose how, when and where you want to vote.
- By Mail: All registered voters received a ballot in the mail. Place the voted ballot inside the envelope provided, sign the envelope and return – your postage is paid! Ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 4 to count.
- Vote Center: With the passage of the California Voter’s Choice Act, traditional polling places were replaced with Vote Centers that are open for up to 11 days, including Election Day. This means voters can choose when, where and how they want to vote – at ANY Vote Center in the County. Avoid the lines, vote early!
