Unlike what has occurred in most prior elections in Sonoma County, voters who want to vote in person may go to whichever vote center they choose; they are not assigned to a single location. This is due to the fact that this is the first countywide election in Sonoma County to be conducted under the Voter’s Choice Act election model. Named after the law on which it is based, the objective of this model is to give voters more flexibility regarding how, when, and where to cast their ballots.

In addition to offering advanced in-person voting, vote centers offer a variety of other services, including serving as drop-off locations for Vote-by-Mail ballots, issuing replacement Vote-by-Mail ballots (for example, if a voter’s first ballot never arrived or was lost/spoiled, etc.), providing accessible ballot marking devices to those who need/prefer using them, and language assistance. Registered voters can also update their voter information and citizens who are eligible to vote but missed the standard voter registration deadline can register and vote the same day.

Voters preferring to vote the Vote-by-Mail ballot that was mailed to them can return it in one of three ways: 

• By mail. In order to count, it must be postmarked on or before Election Day, June 7, and received in the Registrar of Voters Office within seven days (June 14).
• Drop it off at an Official Ballot Drop Box. There are 21 such boxes in Sonoma County, each of which is open 24/7 until 8 p.m. on Election Day. 
• Bring it to any Vote Center during the days/hours they are open.

For a list and map of all Vote Centers and Official Ballot Drop Boxes, as well as the days/hours they are open, please visit sonomacounty.ca.gov/where-to-vote.
