It is just one week from Election Day. Have you made your plan to vote?
In California, if you haven't already dropped off or mailed in your ballot, voting centers will be open from 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Election Day. Drop off your mail-in ballot at any voting location on Election Day, or find your polling place and vote in person.
Remember to stay safe, practice physical distancing and wear your face covering to reduce the spread of COVID-19 if you plan to vote in person. Review the Voter Bill of Rights so you feel prepared and understand your rights — including the right to vote if you are still in line when the polls close.
