Solano County Registrar Encourages Turning in Vote-By-Mail Ballots Early

With the November election right around the corner, the Registrar's office encourages voters to turn in their vote-by-mail ballots early

The Registrar of Voters is encouraging the nearly 102,000 citizens with vote-by-mail ballots in their homes to turn them in early.

Vote-by-mail ballots can be returned through the close of the polls at 8 p.m. on Nov. 8; however, vote-by-mail ballots received after Nov. 7 may not be counted until after the election due to the ballot verification process.

“Voters can weigh their choices and cast their ballot from the comfort of the homes at times convenient to them.  If they turn in their ballots early, they can speed up the reporting of election results on election night,” said Lindsey McWilliams, Assistant Registrar of Voters.

Slightly more than half of registered voters in Solano County are registered as permanent vote-by-mail voters.  About 22,000 voters have already returned their ballots.

Voters going to the polls to cast their choices are encouraged to complete their sample ballots in advance to avoid delays at the polls. They should also review the address of the polling place listed on the back of the sample ballot. Some polling locations have changed since last November.
