The Contra Costa Elections Division is ready for Election Day.
Early Voting Sites will be open beginning Friday, November 4th and polling places will be open from 7 am until 8 pm on Election Day, November 8th. Voters are encouraged to return their ballots by mail, postmarked on or before Election Day – make sure to check mailboxes for pick up times – or drop their ballot off at one of the County’s 37 official drop boxes before 8 pm on election night to ensure we receive your ballot on time.
“All California residents receive a Vote by Mail Ballot as required by state law. Sending your ballot back to us by mail or dropping it off at one of our official ballot drop boxes are easy ways to cast your ballot.” said Debi Cooper, the County’s top Elections Official. “Registered voters have many options to return their ballots before November 8th in Contra Costa County.
They can put their completed ballot with their signed return envelope in the mail, postage paid, or drop it in one of our 37 official drop boxes located throughout the county or vote in person. If our residents vote early, their vote will be included in the initial count on election night.”

It’s going to hit hard.

Vote “No” on everything on your ballot!
No on everything, including the judgeships. I had to hunt through the internet a bit, but they’re all of the ilk that has put us in this bad place with criminals run amok and accountability a distant memory. Don’t just rubber stamp because you don’t know who they are, I looked them up, they’re all part of our problems.
NO
I think that sticker means that we are required to vote in three languages.
Tip # 1:
You have to VOTE !
Indeed, remember to vote early, vote often, preferably through mail, and mail your 100 votes to fetterman for senator race in PA.
Vote early vote often.
Why vote early when they won’t be counted until election night – if they are even still there.
