Body of News Release
The following is a joint news release from the Coalition of Bay Area Election Officials, comprised of registrars from Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma counties.
Elections officials across the Bay Area have put General Election ballots in the mail, and those ballots will be arriving in mailboxes this week. Bay Area elections officials encourage you to vote early.
All registered California voters will receive a ballot in the mail for the November 5 General Election. Voters have many options to cast their ballot.
- Mail your completed ballot to your Elections office in your postage-paid return envelope.
- Drop your completed ballot in the return envelope in an official ballot drop box.
- You can vote in person starting Monday, October 7, through Tuesday, November 5.
- You can even register and vote on the same day.
- Don’t forget to sign your envelope.
“Bay Area voters have many choices when it comes to casting their vote,” said Kristin B. Connelly, Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters. “Bay Area elections officials have been preparing for this election for months now and are ready to ensure that Bay Area Voters are given every opportunity to vote using their preferred method.”
Voters can track their vote-by-mail (VBM) ballot to know when it is mailed, received, and processed by their county’s elections office. Sign up on the California Secretary of State's website.
