The California Voter's Choice Act was passed in 2016 to make voting easier and more convenient. With Napa County at over 90% Vote-By-Mail, participating in the Voter's Choice Act was a logical choice.
How does the Voter's Choice Act work?
- All voters are mailed a ballot 29 days before the election
- Voters can return their ballot 1 of 3 ways:
- By Mail
- In an Official Ballot Drop Box
- At a Vote Center
What is a Vote Center?
- A Vote Center is a mini elections office. At a Vote Center, you can:
- Cast a ballot
- Use an accessible voting machine
- Request a replacement ballot
- Register/Re-register to vote
- Drop off a voted ballot
- Receive assistance in another language
- Two Vote Centers will open 10 days before Election Day
- An additional six Vote Centers will open 3 days before Election Day
- All Vote Centers will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Ballot Drop Boxes
- In addition to returning a ballot by mail, voters will now have the option to drop their ballot in a secure ballot drop box
- 7 Official Ballot Drop Boxes will be located throughout the county 28 days before the election
- All Official Ballot Drop Box will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
