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
