Vote-by-mail ballots are available now

Vote-by-mail ballots for the June 3 primary election are available from the Sonoma County Registrar of Voters Office now.

County Clerk William Rousseau said voters who wish to vote in the election by mail must submit a personally signed request to the Registrar of Voters Office. Requests can be made in person or by mail.

Registered voters should receive a Sonoma County Sample Ballot/Voter Information Pamphlet prior to the election. The application form on the back of the sample ballot can be used to request a vote-by-mail ballot. Requests can also be made by sending a personally signed letter to the Registrar of Voters, Vote by Mail Division, P.O. Box 11485, Santa Rosa, CA 95406. If a letter contains the request of more than one voter, each voter must personally sign the request.

The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot is Tuesday, May 27.

For situations arising after May 27, applications for vote-by-mail ballots can be made in person up to the day of the election at the Registrar of Voters Office, 435 Fiscal Drive, Santa Rosa.

Voters may also return vote-by-mail ballots to any polling place on election day. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on June 3.
