Indivisible Marin’s VOTERS’ GUIDE

GET READY NOW TO VOTE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE

• Register to vote today or check your voter registration status

• Sign up for California's 'Where's My Ballot' to track your ballot

• Visit the website of the Registrar of Voters in your county for details on ballot box locations and early in-person voting options.

RETURN YOUR BALLOT AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE IT

• County elections officials will begin mailing ballots by October 5.

• Secure ballot drop-off locations open on October 6. [Note: Marin drop boxes will open on 10/4)

• We recommend using ballot boxes, if possible, since they are very secure and the earliest voting option.

• If you do not live near a ballot box and/or prefer to return your ballot by mail, mail it no later than October 20, two weeks before the election. Go to a post office and wait in line to get a manual postmark to avoid a delay in it being postmarked at a processing center.

• If you do not receive your ballot in the mail in a timely fashion, contact your county’s Registrar of Voters for guidance on obtaining a ballot promptly.

DO YOUR RESEARCH NOW TO BE PREPARED TO VOTE AS SOON AS YOUR BALLOT ARRIVES

MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE AS EARLY AND AS SECURELY AS POSSIBLE!
We MUST take back Congress in November to put a structural block on Trump's efforts to destroy all we hold dear in this country and to begin the process of holding him and his corrupt administration accountable. While Trump's popularity levels are at historic lows, we can't be complacent heading into the midterms. We know they will try to cheat in all kinds of ways to win. Our best defense is MASSIVE AND EARLY DEM TURNOUT so that there are no narrow wins to be challenged and nothing left to chance. Let’s roll!
