Your Ballot Is on the Way: Get Ready for the November 3 Election

The November 3 Municipal Election is fast approaching. Vote-by-mail ballots were mailed this week and should have arrived, or be arriving, in your mailbox very soon. If you haven't received your ballot, don't wait. Contact the Sonoma County Registrar of Voters to verify your registration and ensure your ballot is on its way.

If you're planning to return your Vote-by-Mail ballot close to Election Day, keep in mind that ballots mailed on or just before November 3 may not arrive in time to be counted. To ensure your ballot is postmarked by Election Day, make sure to get a hand-stamped postmark from a postal employee inside a United States Post Office.

Would you like to drop it off instead? Use an official, and convenient, Official Ballot Drop Box to ensure your ballot is received securely and on time. Here’s a list of Official Ballot Drop Box locations in Santa Rosa:

• Rincon Valley Regional Library, 6959 Montecito Blvd.
• Roseland Regional Library, 470 Sebastopol Rd.
• Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building, 1351 Maple Ave.
• Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, 575 Administration Dr.
