Absentee ballots for next month’s statewide election will be mailed to all active registered voters in Mendocino County by Tuesday, Oct. 11, Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder Katrina Bartolomie reported.
Bartolomie noted in a press release that “the normal delivery is five to seven days. If you do not receive your ballot within one week, please call our office at (707) 234-6819 for a replacement ballot. If you have moved since the last election, please re-register at https://registertovote.ca.gov/
Ballots are also available at the County Clerk’s Office, which is located in Room 1020 of the County Administration Building at 501 Low Gap Road, Ukiah.
For anyone who is not yet registered to vote, Bartolomie said that the last day to register in time to receive a ballot in the mail is Oct. 24. “Please call our office for a Voter Registration card or go to: https://registertovote.ca.gov/ to register to vote online,” she said.
Also mailed directly to voters were “Sample Ballots (local voter information booklets)” that Bartolomie said should be arriving within the next week, adding that “if you do not receive your Sample Ballot or VIG, please call our office so we can send you one. All the local candidate statements and text of local measures are also on our website.”
For voters who want to drop off their ballots or vote in person, Bartolomie adds that “a list of all polling locations and ballot drop off boxes are included with your ballot and in your Sample Ballot. Some of our drop-off boxes are shared with the cities (Ukiah, Willits, Fort Bragg and Point Arena). For these drop boxes the City Clerk and a member of their Financial Department gather the ballots together, they sort them together, so the City Clerks only receive the ballots. No one else handles the ballots other than the City Clerk.”
