Vote by Mail Drop Boxes Set Up Around the City

[UPDATED] As the city gears up for the Nov. 3 election, vote by mail drop boxes have been installed at City Hall, and Brookside, Grant, Victory, and Washington parks.

More Californians than ever are expected to cast their ballots by mail and vote earlier than ever in the 2020 election. Today is the deadline for California counties to send ballots out by Monday, so expect to receive a ballot in the next few days.
