Regional Early Voting Sites opened Friday, May 29th with convenient times to vote in-person, and polling places are open on Election Day, Tuesday, June 2nd from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Voters can still return their ballots by mail, postmarked on or before Election Day – to ensure mailed ballots are received on time, voters mailing their ballots should go into the post office and ask for a postmark. To avoid stress and ensure the Elections office receives their ballot on time voters can drop their ballot off at one of the County’s 45 official drop boxes before 8:00 PM on Election Day.
“We want to encourage Contra Costa voters to vote early and use our official drop boxes or drop off their ballots at a regional early voting site to ensure we receive ballots in a timely manner,” said Kristin B. Connelly, the County’s Registrar of Voters. “Your vote is your voice and our office is here to ensure your voice is heard.”

Ballot marking equipment with accessible features is available at every in-person voting location for voters who may need assistance.
Be Prepared
If you vote in-person, many voters find it helpful to come prepared. Make your choices ahead of time and bring your pre-marked Sample Ballot to the polls to help you save time. Copies of the Voter Information Guide are available at the polls and the information is also available online.
Leave the Campaign T-Shirts, Buttons, and Hats at Home
Please remember that voters have the right to cast a ballot free from intimidation or distraction. Under California law, electioneering is prohibited within 100 feet of any voting location. Anyone wearing items promoting any position in this election will be asked to remove or cover them while they are at the voting location. Please help our poll workers by refraining from electioneering and leave your campaign t-shirts, buttons, and hats at home.
