Marin County, CA – Ballots for the November 4 Statewide Special Election have dropped in the mail. Marin County registered voters should expect to receive their ballots by the end of the week.
All active registered California voters are mailed ballots starting 29 days before every election.
Voters may vote at home and either mail their postage-prepaid ballot or drop it off at an official drop box location. A list of official drop-off locations is on the Elections website.
Voters who wish to vote in person may do so at the Civic Center starting October 6 during regular business hours or may visit one of our Marin County vote centers. Vote centers open starting October 25 on staggered schedules. The Elections website has a list of vote center locations and hours of operation.
Whichever way a voter prefers to vote, make a plan, and review the options:
- Mail a completed ballot to Marin County Elections using the postage-paid return envelope.
- Place the envelope with completed ballot in an official drop box.
- Vote in person at the Civic Center or at any Marin County vote center.
Registrar of Voters Natalie Adona reminds voters to sign the return envelope if voting by mail or dropping it off. Envelope signatures are required to make a vote count. Those voting in person or dropping off ballots must do so before the polls close at 8 PM on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4. Mailed ballots need to be postmarked on or before Election Day and arrive in the Elections office no later than the close of business on Wednesday, November 12 (extended due to the Veterans Day holiday on November 11).
Those not yet registered to vote can still register and fill out a ballot; contact Marin County Elections for more information.
“Voters have the opportunity to vote on Proposition 50, but there may be local issues that also appear on the ballot this during election,” Adona said. “I strongly encourage all voters to read their county and state voter information guides to help with making an informed decision. And please vote early if you can.”
