If you haven’t yet voted in the November 3 general election, you have options. Turn in your ballot at a secure drop box or vote in person at any of 100 locations across Alameda County by 8pm on Tuesday, November 3. Or, bring your ballot to a pop-up Registrar of Voters “Ballot Drop Stop” in front of Piedmont City Hall on Thursday, October 29 from 10am-4pm.

All registered voters were sent a vote-by-mail ballot in early October. If you are registered but did not receive a ballot by mail, contact the Alameda County Registrar of Voters at (510) 272-6933.

Vote in-person at Piedmont Veterans Memorial Building or any other Alameda County vote center

Starting Saturday, October 31, you can vote in-person at any of 100 vote centers across Alameda County. All vote centers are open:

• Saturday, October 31 – Monday, November 2: 9am-5pm
• Tuesday, November 3: 7am-8pm

In Piedmont, there is a vote center at Veterans Memorial Building (401 Highland Avenue).

A smaller subset of vote centers is open 9am-5pm for a full 11 days before the election, starting on October 24. The closest 11-day vote center to Piedmont is in Oakland at Parks Chapel AME Church, 476 34^th Street.

Turn in your ballot at a secure drop box or ballot drop stop event

The Registrar of Voters is encouraging voters to submit their ballots directly rather than mail them through the post office. You can turn in your ballot at any:

• Secure ballot drop box: There is an official ballot drop box located near the mailboxes at Highland Way and Mountain Avenue in Piedmont, and 65 other locations across Alameda County. Drop boxes are available 24 hours a day, and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office picks up ballots from the drop boxes and returns them to the Registrar of Voters daily. The last pickup will be at 8pm on Tuesday, November 3.
• Ballot Drop Stop event: The Registrar of Voters is hosting a series of pop-up events where you can submit your ballot directly. There will be a Ballot Drop Stop in front of Piedmont City Hall on Thursday, October 29 from 10am to 4pm.
• Vote Center: Bring your ballot to any vote center in Alameda County.

If you choose to mail your ballot through the post office, it must be postmarked by November 3 and received by November 10.

Conditional (“Same Day”) Voter Registration

If you missed the deadline to register for this election you can still vote provisionally by registering and voting at any vote center.

Your ballot will be processed and counted after the Registrar of Voters has verified your information. This process takes time, so your ballot may not be included in the results reported on election night.
