Contra Costa: “Early Voting” In June Primary Election Begins

by ECT

Beginning today, Contra Costa County voters will now have unprecedented flexibility to receive and cast their ballots at seven Regional Early Voting sites throughout the county the week before Election Day.

The program kicked off a week ahead of the June 7th Primary Election. All registered Contra Costa voters will be able to vote at any of the locations. They will be open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm Tuesday May 31st through Friday June 3rd, and 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Saturday, June 4th.

“We are actively seeking ways to make voting more convenient for our voters,” said Joe Canciamilla, Contra Costa County Registrar of Voters.

The program comes as state lawmakers discuss reforms aimed at making it easier for Californians to vote in the future.

“While discussions to try and modernize our outdated voting processes continue at the state level, we are taking advantage of the flexibility already given us under existing law to offer our voters as much access to early voting as possible this year,” Canciamilla said.

Contra Costa County is adding this third option for voting in addition to voting by mail and voting at the polls on Election Day.

Regional Early Voting sites are structured so that any registered Contra Costa voter can vote at any location. For example, a Concord resident who works at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon can vote at the site in either of those cities.

The sites are geographically balanced and are located in convenient and accessible locations.

  • Prewett Water Park Multi-Purpose Room, 4701 Lone Tree Way, Antioch
  • Bay Hills Community Church, 4555 Hilltop Dr., Richmond
  • Lafayette Learning Center, 3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd., Lafayette
  • San Ramon Community Center at Central Park, 12501 Alcosta Blvd., San Ramon
  • Pittsburg City Hall, 65 Civic Ave., Pittsburg
  • The Salvation Army Church, 3950 Clayton Road, Concord

In addition to the Regional Voting Center sites, vote-by-mail voters can continue to drop off their ballots at “CoCo Vote-N-Go” drop-off boxes at all 19 city hall buildings and the County Administration building on 651 Pine Street, Martinez.

I voted for Burgis. She did a solid job at the forum that was held in Discovery Bay.
Barr was my other choice but all of the Trump signs with Barr signs around town bother me.

Looks like Hardasstle is out and Barrs early lead is falling like a stone. Based on the numbers, Diane Burgis will win in November.
