The county has long had this practice, a county spokesman wrote in a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Contra Costa’s long standing and proven practice regarding the re-issuing of ballots to vote by mail voters is:\u003cbr>\n“When a voter, who has previously been issued a ballot, shows up at a polling place and requests another ballot; that voter, in all cases, will be issued a ballot but it must be cast provisionally.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Concerned citizens contacted KQED, and we asked the Secretary of State about Contra Costa's policy. A spokesman for the Secretary of State said that such a practice was incorrect. In an email the spokesman told KQED that his office was contacting the county. Shortly after, Contra Costa County announced a change in policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, voters in Contra Costa County will be able to bring in their vote-by-mail ballots, surrender them, and then receive replacement ballots.

State law protects tardy mail-in voters with two options: postmark the ballot by Election Day or bring it to the polling place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a number of Contra Costa County voters registered as \"no party preference\" were given provisional ballots when they recently tried to turn in their vote-by-mail ballots. Provisional ballots aren't immediately counted on election night. The county has long had this practice, a county spokesman wrote in a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Contra Costa’s long standing and proven practice regarding the re-issuing of ballots to vote by mail voters is:\u003cbr>\n“When a voter, who has previously been issued a ballot, shows up at a polling place and requests another ballot; that voter, in all cases, will be issued a ballot but it must be cast provisionally.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Concerned citizens contacted KQED, and we asked the Secretary of State about Contra Costa's policy. A spokesman for the Secretary of State said that such a practice was incorrect. In an email the spokesman told KQED that his office was contacting the county. Shortly after, Contra Costa County announced a change in policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, voters in Contra Costa County will be able to bring in their vote-by-mail ballots, surrender them, and then receive replacement ballots. People who lost their vote-by-mail ballots will still be able to cast provisional ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Since 2011, when the state began reducing its inmate population as part of a larger \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/realignment/\">prison realignment\u003c/a> program, Contra Costa has invested about $10 million in community-based re-entry services and $400,000 in the center itself.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa Supervisor John Gioia said the center is key to the county’s plan to help keep people out of jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can show this center works and these programs work, it’ll hopefully help build the case for investing more money in this type of work,” he said. “It makes quality of life better for people who are released from jail and return, and it makes our community safer. So it’s a win-win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas Alexander, the center's director, said he hopes it can offer more effective support to formerly incarcerated people and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we look back at re-entry work over the last decade, it’s really been unsuccessful,\" he said. “I mean over half of people tend to go back into incarceration.

(Since 2011, when the state began reducing its inmate population as part of a larger \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/realignment/\">prison realignment\u003c/a> program, Contra Costa has invested about $10 million in community-based re-entry services and $400,000 in the center itself.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa Supervisor John Gioia said the center is key to the county’s plan to help keep people out of jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can show this center works and these programs work, it’ll hopefully help build the case for investing more money in this type of work,” he said. “It makes quality of life better for people who are released from jail and return, and it makes our community safer. So it’s a win-win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas Alexander, the center's director, said he hopes it can offer more effective support to formerly incarcerated people and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we look back at re-entry work over the last decade, it’s really been unsuccessful,\" he said. “I mean over half of people tend to go back into incarceration.
