Beginning Jan. 3, 2024, the Sonoma County Registrar of Voters Office will have a change in regular office hours. Going forward, the office will be closed to the public on Wednesdays at 4 p.m. Public office hours will be Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. During critical election periods, such as candidate nominations, days when Vote Centers are open, and during public canvassing, the office will stay open until 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, or later, as required. 

This change aligns the schedule of the Registrar of Voters Office with that of the County Clerk, Recorder and Assessor divisions, and would provide staff time to work without interruption, attend meetings, participate in trainings, take courses, and allow cross-training opportunities across divisions. 

The change in hours in the other divisions has been in place for more than seven years and has been seen as an operational benefit. 

“The change in hours open to the public will allow better collaboration between county divisions while allowing staff time to participate in trainings and meetings without having to leave to assist customers,” said Clerk-Recorder-Assessor-Registrar of Voters, Deva Marie Proto. “Providing the same information and training to all staff is key to our organizational excellence.” 

The Sonoma County Registrar of Voters office is located at 435 Fiscal Drive in Santa Rosa and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding county holidays.
