Introduction

This page provides information about Official Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote Centers in Sonoma County for the November 5, 2024, General Election. There are two main ways to vote in this election:

• Vote the ballot you receive in the mail. Per California law, every active, registered voter is automatically mailed a ballot approximately 3-4 weeks before Election Day. See Where to Return Your Vote-by-Mail Ballot.
• Vote in person at a Vote Center. See Where to Vote in Person.

If neither of these options works for you, call us at (707) 565-6800 or email us at rov-info@sonoma-county.org to find out about alternate voting options.

Where to Return Your Vote-by-Mail Ballot

Drop it in the mail

In order to count, it must be postmarked on or before November 5 (Election Day) and received in our office by November 12.

Important: If you are placing your ballot in a USPS collection box on November 5 (Election Day), please note the last collection time on the box. If you place your ballot in the box after the last collection time, it will not be postmarked until the following day and your ballot will not be counted!

Deposit it at an Official Ballot Drop Box

There will be 22 Official Ballot Drop Boxes available throughout the County. They will be open 24/7 from October 8 until November 5 (Election Day) at 8:00 p.m.  See the complete list of Official Ballot Drop Boxes below. They are sorted in alphabetical order by city/place.
