The Voter's Choice Act

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
