Voting Alert: Your local polling place may no longer exist
Five California counties - Napa, Nevada, Madera, San Mateo and Sacramento - are experimenting this election with a new voting model.
Voters in these counties will notice big differences on Election Day: local polling places no longer exist and have been replaced with vote centers open to all voters countywide. Voters in these five counties should have received a vote-by-mail ballot already in the mail and can return it by mail or to a vote center or drop box. They can also visit vote centers in the days leading up to and on Election Day to request and cast ballots or update their registration.
In San Mateo and Nevada, ballot return postage is paid, while in Sacramento, Napa and Madera voters who send their ballots through the mail are expected to pay the postage costs (all counties reportedly cover unpaid postage costs but don't advertise it). All verified ballots postmarked by Election Day and received by June 8 will be counted.
