2020 Election – Voting Safely During COVID-19

The more an individual interacts with others, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread. One or more early voting locations will be available for at least four days beginning the Saturday before the November 3, 2020, election. Voting locations will offer voter registration, replacement ballots, accessible voting machines, and language assistance.

You can return completed ballots by mail with no stamp needed, at a secure ballot drop box, or at a voting location. Voting locations will have separate lines for voters dropping off completed ballots. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by November 3, 2020; ballots returned at a secure ballot drop box must be deposited by 8:00 p.m. on November 3, 2020. Find a nearby drop box in your area or at your local voting location at CAEarlyVoting.sos.ca.gov or https://www.ocvote.com/voting/voting-and-dropoff-locations-by-election.

Do not forget to wear a face covering at all times while at the voting location. Keep at least six feet apart from other people and wash your hands before and after entering the voting location. Bring your own ballpoint pen to avoid touching high-contact surfaces. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol after touching doors and using the voting machine.
