The California 2018 General Election is this coming TUESDAY, the 6th of November. ## **VOTING INFORMATION** ## In 53 of the state's 58 counties, polling places will be open from 7am until 8pm. You can find your polling place at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place/ In the remaining five, **including San Mateo and Sacramento counties**, there are no polling places in this election (thanks to an experimental program), but you can vote by mail or vote in person at one of several regional voting centers or at the county elections office. All voting centers will close by 8pm on Tuesday. In addition, there are dropbox locations, and ballots must be dropped in those dropboxes no later than 8pm on Tuesday. Locations can be found at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voters-choice-act/. **Vote by mail ballots** must be EITHER (a) returned to a polling place or voting center *in the same county* no later than 8pm on Tuesday OR (b) postmarked by Tuesday and received by the county elections office no later than Friday. See https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail/#vote-by-mail for details. **California supports same-day voter registration** (it's called "conditional voter registration"). **HOWEVER, same-day registration CANNOT BE DONE AT A POLLING PLACE**. You can only do this at specific locations in your county. Please consult https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/conditional-voter-reg/ for links for the individual county websites. **California does not generally require voter ID to vote**, however there are some edge cases in which it is required under HAVA. The most common situation in which this is required is for new voters who did not provide their drivers' license number or the last four digits of their social security number when they registered. Details on acceptable identification can be found at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/voting-california/what-bring/. ## **A SUMMARY OF THE THINGS BEING VOTED ON** ## Statewide, voters will be voting on: * all 80 members of the state Assembly * 20 of the state's 40 State Senators * all of the state's 53 Congresspeople. * US Senate * all eight statewide constitutional offices (Governor, Lt.
