Contra Costa: Vote By Mail Ballots Have Been Mailed to Voters

Joseph E. Canciamilla, the County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, announces that vote-by-mail ballots for the November 4, 2014 Gubernatorial General Election were mailed the week of October 6, 2014. Ballots were mailed to those registered voters who previously requested a vote-by-mail ballot and to those living in precincts designated as mail ballot only.

Registered voters who expect a vote-by-mail ballot and have not received it by October 15, 2014 please call (925) 335-7800 to request a replacement ballot.

We encourage voters to vote and return their vote-by-mail ballots as early as possible. Ballots must be received at the Elections Office by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 4, 2014 in order to qualify for counting. Ballots may be returned via mail, dropped off at the Elections Office at 555 Escobar Street, or beginning the week of October 13 they may be dropped off at participating City Halls during normal business hours (Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, Hercules, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon and Walnut Creek).

Any voter who wishes to become a permanent vote-by-mail voter for future elections may obtain information from our website at http://www.cocovote.us/voting/vote-by-mail/ or by calling the Elections Office at (925) 335-7800 or (877) 335-7802. Voters may also sign and return the vote-by-mail application on the last page of their Sample Ballot Booklet.
