Registrar of Voters Site Selection Methodology 

Due to the pandemic, and legislative actions to keep voters safe for the November election, the Registrar of Voters is conducting a different type of election than Sonoma County voters are used to. All active, registered voters will receive a mail ballot in October for the November election. Additionally, safe in-person voting locations must be provided.

SB 423 requires counties to provide in-person voting locations. There were two options allowed by the legislation for Sonoma County:

  1. Provide the same in-person voting locations as were provided for the March 2020 Presidential Primary Election. This was not a feasible option for Sonoma County. Sonoma County relies heavily on schools and senior facilities for polling places. The Sonoma County Office of Education informed the Registrar of Voters Office that schools would likely be unavailable to use for voting in November, due to safety concerns and a desire to contain school campuses to students and faculty only, related to the pandemic. Additionally, a number of the senior facilities and other polling places informed the Registrar of Voters that due to health concerns, their facility would be unavailable for voting in November.
  2. Provide a minimum of one (1) voting location per 10,000 voters, and one (1) secure ballot drop box per 15,000 voters. This is the option that Sonoma County decided to pursue for the November election. To select the location sites, the Registrar of Voters had to consider demographic and voting data, including population centers, historical low vote by mail usage, households with low rates of vehicle ownership, and language minority communities. This data is provided in the map on the following page, along with a modeled map that combines all the considered criteria. 

Utilizing the data provided on the proposed voting location map, the Registrar of Voters Office focused on larger locations in areas that indicated a higher need. Larger facilities will provide voters and election staff space for social distancing and safety precautions. Secondarily, locations that were smaller, but in areas of need or to minimize driving distances and times were sought. Many areas of need do not contain a proposed voting location due to a lack of suitable or available facilities. 

The result of this work and analysis is provided on the proposed voting location map. The Registrar of Voters sincerely thanks the facilities and organizations that are and were willing to be available as voting locations and contribute to democracy.
