The Contra Costa Elections Division would like residents to know that our staff and volunteers are ready for Election Day. Early Voting Sites will be open beginning today, Friday June 3rd and polling places will be open from 7 am until 8 pm on Election Day, June 7th. Voters are encouraged to return their ballots by mail, postmarked on or before Election Day or drop their ballot off at one of the County’s 37 official drop boxes in order to avoid waiting in line.
“Vote by Mail is now the law moving forward in California, and it remains the easiest and fastest way to vote and return your ballot.” said Clerk-Recorder-Registrar Debi Cooper, the County’s top Elections Official. “All you need to do to cast your ballot is to return it by mail or put it into one of our official ballot boxes, located throughout the County. In-person voting will still be available, and we would like to remind voters that if they vote early, their vote will be included in the initial count on election night.”
In-Person Services
If you need in-person services to cast your ballot, Contra Costa County residents will have early voting options at five Regional Early Voting sites throughout the county beginning today, June 3rd . All registered Contra Costa voters will be able to vote at any of the Regional Early Voting locations, which will be open Friday June 3rd from 11 am to 6 pm, Saturday June 4th from 9 am to 3 pm, and Monday June 6th from 11 am to 6 pm.

Leave the Campaign T-Shirts, Buttons, and Hats at Home
Please remember that voters have the right to cast a ballot free from intimidation or distraction. Electioneering, including wearing anything with a candidate’s name on it, is prohibited within 100 feet of any in-person voting location. Anyone wearing electioneering items will be asked to remove or cover them while they are in the voting location. Please help our poll workers by respecting the non-partisan nature of the voting locations.
