Elections

Vote Centers – It’s changing in El Dorado County:

Starting in 2020, all registered voters in El Dorado County will receive their ballot in the mail weeks before the election. You have 3 choices for how to vote:


VOTE BY MAIL
 You can mail your ballot starting as soon as you receive it.




DROP BOX
You can drop off your ballot at any secure Drop Box starting as soon as you receive it. No postage required at Drop Boxes.




VOTE CENTER
You can go to any Vote Center in the county to vote in person. Vote Centers will be open for up to 11 days in a row. At every Vote Center you can:


    • Vote
    • Register and vote the same day
    • Drop off your ballot
    • Vote with an accessible voting machine
    • Get help and voting materials in multiple languages

The California Voter’s Choice Act became law in 2016 to make voting more convenient and accessible.

You choose HOW you vote: Whether using the mail, a drop box or a vote center, you choose the method that works best for you.

You choose WHEN you vote: Instead of just one day to vote, you can vote in person during an 11-day period — including weekends — ending on Election Day.

You choose WHERE you vote: You can vote in person at any Vote Center in your county.

You get the SUPPORT you need: Vote Center staff will be there to help you have a great voting experience, including providing assistance in multiple languages and helping voters with disabilities.
