Oct 29, 2024 09:35AM ● By Yolo County Assessor News Release

YOLO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - For the Nov. 5 General Election, Yolo County will offer 15 Ballot Drop Boxes, 12 Vote Centers and a Mobile Vote Center that will travel throughout the rural areas. The combination of Ballot Drop Boxes, Vote Centers and the Mobile Vote Center allows voters a variety of locations and times to cast their ballots.

Ballot Drop Boxes

Ballots collected in the Ballot Drop Boxes are picked up by Yolo County Ballot Box Retrieval Teams. Some Ballot Drop Boxes are secured outdoors and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ballot Drop Boxes are constructed of heavy-duty steel and built to withstand vandalism, illegal removal and inclement weather. The ballot deposit slot is also designed to prevent tampering and unauthorized removal of ballots. For more information about Ballot Drop Boxes, visit: https://elections.yolocounty.gov/232/Ballot-Drop-Boxes.

Vote Centers

“Vote Centers offer more ways and more days to vote, so voters don’t have to wait until Election Day to cast their ballots,” said Jesse Salinas, Yolo County Assessor/Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters.

At Vote Centers, voters can cast a ballot, drop off their own vote-by-mail ballot or someone else’s vote-by-mail ballot (as an authorized agent). Voters can also receive bilingual assistance, mark a ballot privately and independently using an ADA-accessible ballot-marking device, pick up their own replacement vote-by-mail ballot or replacement envelope, register to vote, or update their voter registration as well as cast a “conditional voter registration” ballot.

Conditional voting, sometimes called same-day registration, is available for those who may have missed the voter registration deadline on Monday, Oct. 21.
