Quick Guide to the November 3, 2020, Election

Election Highlights

• Ballots will be mailed to all registered voters.  This means any registered voter may vote by mail instead of going to the polls on Election Day.

• Any registered voter may access their ballot using the Accessible Vote-by-Mail system.

• Early voting at the City Hall Voting Center will be relocated to an outdoor area in front of Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

• Health and safety protocols will be in place at all of the City’s 588 neighborhood polling places and the Voting Center.

For more information about voting options, please see here.

Start of early voting (ballots begin arriving to voters’ mailboxes, the City Hall Voting Center opens, and ballot drop-off stations are set up at the Voting Center entrances.)

October 19

Last day to register to vote and receive a ballot in the mail. After October 19, anyone who is eligible to vote can still register conditionally and vote provisionally in person.
