Introduction

This page provides information about Vote Centers and Official Ballot Drop Boxes that will be available for the November 8, 2022, General Election.

This is the second countywide election in Sonoma County that will be fully conducted under the Voter's Choice Act election model. Under this model, if you are an active, registered voter in the County, you will automatically receive a ballot in the mail approximately three to four weeks before each election -- regardless of whether you have previously signed up to be a Vote-by-Mail voter or not. (Due to the passage and signing of California Assembly Bill 37 last fall, this is actually now a requirement for all California counties, not just counties operating under the Voter's Choice Act election model.)

You then have two main ways to vote.

• Vote the ballot you received in the mail. See Where to Return Your Vote-by-Mail Ballot.
• Vote in person at any Vote Center in the County. See Where to Vote in Person.

If neither of these options works for you, you still might be able to vote. Call us at (707) 565-6800 or email us at rov-info@sonoma-county.org to find out about alternate voting options.

Where to Vote in Person

Vote Centers are similar to old-fashioned polling places but offer far greater flexibility and convenience:

• They are open multiple days, not just Election Day
• Registered voters in Sonoma County can cast a regular ballot at whichever Vote Center is most convenient for them; they do not have to go to a preassigned location
• Services provided at Vote Centers:
  • Conditional (i.e., “same day”) voter registration
  • Address changes/updates
  • Accessible ballot marking devices for voters with disabilities or anyone who wants to use them
  • Telephone interpreter services for most languages
  • Translated facsimile ballots in Khmer, Tagalog, and Vietnamese (official ballots already include both English and Spanish)

In the November 8, 2022, General Election, there will be:

• Seven Vote Centers open for eleven days (October 29 to November 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and November 8 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.)
• Twenty-four Vote Centers open for four days (November 5 to November 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and November 8 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.)
