Where To Take Your Mail-In Ballots
Voters are encouraged to hand deliver their ballots for Tuesday's election if their vote-by-mail ballot isn't already in the mail.
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters office is urging people who haven’t mailed their vote-by-mail ballots to turn them in by hand to ensure they are counted.
Ballots must be received at the registrar’s office or at polling locations by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 6, or they won’t be counted.
A postmark indicating the ballot was sent before Tuesday does not constitute a valid ballot, according to state election laws. Vote-by-mail ballots turned in at the polls get counted after all other ballots.
