Hi Folks,

Well it is finally here, Election Day! Tomorrow everyone who is going to vote and hasn't done so already will cast ballots across California and the nation. This edition of CVF-News shares last-minute voting tips, a reminder about Election Hero Day, a new election song, and where to find election results starting Tuesday night.

Why California’s vote count will take days

Excerpt:

There are only two more days to vote in California, and more than 7.6 million Californians have cast their ballots. But the counting will last for days, if not weeks, before news outlets declare all the winners or candidates concede.

Planning to vote in person ahead of Election Day? San Joaquin County has only one option

Exceprt:

If you want to vote in person before Election Day, you may wish you lived somewhere besides San Joaquin County.

That’s because you have only one in-person option — weekdays at the county registrar’s office in downtown Stockton.

Nearby counties give voters more places where they can cast a ballot.

Contra Costa opens five voting centers, starting Friday. Stanislaus County opened six this week, with more coming this weekend. Sacramento voters have their choice of 16.
