Others, like voters who have recently relocated or are experiencing homelessness, may not have received a ballot in the mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For them, and the many others voters who simply prefer to cast their ballots in person, state and local officials are scrambling to create a safe voting experience that reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"California Secretary of State Alex Padilla\"]‘Say goodbye to voting in residential garages and retirement homes.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some counties are using the crisis to pilot novel ideas, while others are struggling to replace longtime polling places where a gathering of people could pose a significant health risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Say goodbye to voting in residential garages and retirement homes,” California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. “To different extents, different counties are struggling to find replacement and smarter voting locations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla said it’s “all hands on deck” in the effort to find voting locations that can accommodate physical distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to go into a voting location and see 30 voting booths all side by side,” Padilla said, who last week \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ccrov/pdf/2020/july/20154jl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued safety guidelines\u003c/a> for in-person voting. “So we’re needing both new locations and larger locations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acknowledging that finding and staffing new locations may prove impossible in many parts of the state, Padilla is supporting legislation that would let counties reduce the number of polling places they have to open in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, Senate Bill 423, mirrors an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/06/03/governor-newsom-signs-executive-order-on-safe-secure-and-accessible-general-election-in-november/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">executive order\u003c/a> signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters believe the changes will not come at the expense of access: If counties opt to consolidate voting locations, they’ll have to open the polls for longer hours — beginning the Saturday before Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we have already seen in some other states, a massive reduction in voting locations would result in longer lines and larger and potentially unsafe gatherings on Election Day,” Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Menlo Park, who chairs the Assembly Committee on Elections and Redistricting, said in a hearing on the bill this week. “SB 423 will ensure that that will not be the case in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/2020-06/6_02_WaitingtoVote_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report from the Brennan Center for Justice \u003c/a> on racial disparities in voting access warned that election administrators should “avoid closing polling places without firm analytical evidence that doing so will not overburden remaining polling places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman James Gallagher, R-Yuba City, worried aloud at the hearing that “for people not to have access to the polling place that they’re used to going to, I can see that as being problematic for voter access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But election officials say many counties will have no choice — with many long-time polling places either unavailable or unusable during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know in Alameda County specifically, a lot of the locations that were used in the primary are reluctant to make themselves available this November or simply not making the commitment,” Padilla said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda, like counties across the state, relies heavily on churches and synagogues to serve as polling places. In Oakland, more than half of the polling places in the March primary were houses of worship or religious facilities, like parish halls. Asking those facilities to open their doors for voting on weekend days of worship could prove difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Dupuis, the registrar of voters in Alameda County, declined to comment for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve traditionally used churches, but when you’re asking them to be open on Sunday, some of the churches have said ‘wait a second!’” said Joe Holland, the registrar of voters in Santa Barbara County. “It’s been a real challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More 2020 Election Coverage\" tag=\"election-2020\"]And many schools, another traditional site for voting, are unable to commit to serving as polling places because they’re still not sure if they will reopen by Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holland said Santa Barbara will have 25 voting locations in November, down from 86 during the March primary. The remaining locations will act as ‘vote centers,’ providing extra services like on-site registration and ballot assistance.

But with that said, I think there was an added effort to really focus on getting folks to cast the mail ballot,” said Griswold. “We did things to encourage their use and also to make sure that for people voting in person, that that was just as safe as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like in much of California, new cases of COVID-19 are on the rise in pockets of both Colorado and Utah, where election officials were pushed to take extra precautions in advance of the primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Utah, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kuer.org/post/its-primary-election-day-utah-heres-what-expect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in-person voting was limited\u003c/a>, but voters were allowed to postmark ballots on Election Day. Ballots received by counties were left untouched for 24 hours to prevent the spread of the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With some longtime Colorado poll workers (known in the state as election judges) at high-risk for the coronavirus, Griswold led a recruitment drive, offering extra pay and sick leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recruited hundreds of judges,” she said. “So, we have not had problems like other states have had in terms of closing polling centers or any delays in the processing of mail ballots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actions taken by both states “really provide a better service for voters; meet people where they are and certainly increase turnout,” said Amber McReynolds, CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute, which advocates for mail balloting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The low-drama administration of this week’s two state primary elections also provides another proof-point against President Trump’s unfounded claims that voting by mail will lead to fraud and work to the advantage of Democrats. In Colorado, a higher percentage of Republican primary voters cast a mail ballot than voters in the Democratic primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"vote-by-mail\"]Despite California’s extensive experience with mail-in voting, the state will still face challenges that didn’t exist in Colorado and Utah, said Paul Gronke, Director of the Early Voting Information Center at Reed College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Colorado, only a fraction of voters choose to vote at the polls, and vote centers are more typically used for voter services, like updating registration forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is still in the adaptation phase and there are significant numbers of the citizenry who either need, for important reasons, or who choose to cast their ballots in person,” Gronke added. “So, I think California officials are still adapting to try to figure out exactly how many voters are going to be appearing in person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California’s March primary, voters faced daunting lines at vote centers in Los Angeles, a problem that was largely the \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/17/la-county-blames-voter-check-in-tablets-for-election-day-chaos-324894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">result of faulty technology\u003c/a>, but was compounded by a failure to adequately balance staff across the county’s voting locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid lines, California officials will have to carefully project where voters will turn out, as they shift to larger, more dispersed voting locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s primaries in Colorado and Utah also continued another vote-by-mail trend: a vote-counting process likely to extend days or weeks beyond Election Day. Colorado reported just 60% of results on Tuesday and, as of Thursday evening, Utah’s hotly-contested Republican primary for governor was still too close to call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone needs to calm down, wait a few days, give election officials the time and the space to be able to process those ballots and count them,” Gronke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

On their ballot, these voters rank their top three choices for the office, regardless of party. If one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, they win.

So many people waited that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/11/mail-in-ballots-will-soon-require-only-a-postmark-by-election-day\" target=\"_blank\">we changed state law\u003c/a>.

If no one receives a majority the first time around, the candidate with the fewest first-place votes is dropped.

Since then, the percentage of ballots cast by mail has steadily climbed, and when all the votes are counted in the Nov. 8 election, over 60 percent of the votes will be cast by mail-in ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how do you make sure your ballot gets there on time to be counted?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many voters, perhaps still nostalgic for old-timey elections, physically drop off their mail-in ballots at their local polling place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you put your ballot in the mailbox, the first question is, \"Do I need to put a stamp or two on it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer is, \"it depends.\" Alpine and Sierra counties have mail-in-ballot-only elections and cover the cost of postage. Until very recently, the only other county that paid the cost of postage voluntarily was San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the tide is turning, says Kim Alexander, president and founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calvoter.org/voter/faq.html\" target=\"_blank\">California Voter Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Santa Cruz is covering postage for the first time this year,\" Alexander says. \"It's an important new trend!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Alexander says other counties, mostly in the Bay Area, also pay for postage now. They include Marin, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Plumas counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're not in one of those counties, how much postage do you use? It's not as straightforward as you might think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve found that in Alameda the county advises voters to affix two 'forever' stamps if they are voting three cards, and three 'forever' stamps if they are voting four cards,\" Alexander says. She adds that Los Angeles County says one stamp is enough, while Contra Costa, Sacramento and San Diego counties are advising 68 cents worth of postage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to potential confusion, says Alexander, Sacramento's return envelope says \"place \u003cem>stamp\u003c/em> here,\" even though more than one stamp is required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don't worry too much about your vote not counting for lack of postage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The counties all have agreements with the post offices to cover insufficient postage costs, but most voters don't know that,\" Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB450\" target=\"_blank\">SB 450\u003c/a>, which will allow some counties to hold all-mail-in ballot elections starting in 2018, with regional polling centers replacing neighborhood polling places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander's organization had serious concerns about SB 450 in part because it didn't require counties to pay the cost of postage if they opt-in to all mail elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of people look at having to pay postage to mail in ballots as a kind of poll tax,\" Alexander says, \"while others see it as a convenience, and if you don't want to use your own stamp you can just go to your polling place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a round-up of postage requirements in Bay Area counties:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alameda\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postage?

Until very recently, the only other county that paid the cost of postage voluntarily was San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the tide is turning, says Kim Alexander, president and founder of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calvoter.org/voter/faq.html\" target=\"_blank\">California Voter Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Santa Cruz is covering postage for the first time this year,\" Alexander says. \"It's an important new trend!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Alexander says other counties, mostly in the Bay Area, also pay for postage now. They include Marin, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Plumas counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're not in one of those counties, how much postage do you use? It's not as straightforward as you might think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve found that in Alameda the county advises voters to affix two 'forever' stamps if they are voting three cards, and three 'forever' stamps if they are voting four cards,\" Alexander says. She adds that Los Angeles County says one stamp is enough, while Contra Costa, Sacramento and San Diego counties are advising 68 cents worth of postage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to potential confusion, says Alexander, Sacramento's return envelope says \"place \u003cem>stamp\u003c/em> here,\" even though more than one stamp is required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don't worry too much about your vote not counting for lack of postage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The counties all have agreements with the post offices to cover insufficient postage costs, but most voters don't know that,\" Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB450\" target=\"_blank\">SB 450\u003c/a>, which will allow some counties to hold all-mail-in ballot elections starting in 2018, with regional polling centers replacing neighborhood polling places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander's organization had serious concerns about SB 450 in part because it didn't require counties to pay the cost of postage if they opt-in to all mail elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of people look at having to pay postage to mail in ballots as a kind of poll tax,\" Alexander says, \"while others see it as a convenience, and if you don't want to use your own stamp you can just go to your polling place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a round-up of postage requirements in Bay Area counties:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alameda\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postage?

This is not to be confused with absentee voting, where the voter is unable to be present at the polls, and the ballot is completed and mailed in advance of an election. California offers \"no-excuse\" absentee voting, allowing registered voters to request an absentee ballot without requiring they state a reason for their desire to vote absentee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early voting allows voters to visit an election official’s office or other satellite voting locations, and cast a vote in person without offering a reason for why the voter is unable to vote on Election Day.

In an effort to avoid long lines at the polls, all nine Bay Area counties will offer early-voting options for all registered voters. Election Day is Nov. 8 and the final day to \u003ca href=\"http://registertovote.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">register to vote\u003c/a> in California is Oct. 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are three ways California residents can vote before Election Day: Vote-by-mail ballots are mailed to voters, who can mail back the ballot or drop it off at a polling place on Election Day. This is not to be confused with absentee voting, where the voter is unable to be present at the polls, and the ballot is completed and mailed in advance of an election. California offers \"no-excuse\" absentee voting, allowing registered voters to request an absentee ballot without requiring they state a reason for their desire to vote absentee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early voting allows voters to visit an election official’s office or other satellite voting locations, and cast a vote in person without offering a reason for why the voter is unable to vote on Election Day. All first-time voters must bring a government-issued ID.
