Voters also have the option to vote by mail. All active, registered voters in Sonoma County were sent Vote-by-Mail ballots earlier this month. There are three main ways a voter can return their Vote-by-Mail ballot:

Send it back in the mail. In order to count, it must be postmarked on or before Election Day (June 2).
- Important Message About Postmarks
  The United States Postal Service can no longer guarantee that mail returned to USPS collection boxes will be postmarked the same day it is retrieved. Therefore, we recommend that voters not place their ballots in United States Postal Service collection boxes on Election Day (June 2) or the day before Election Day (June 1).
Drop it in one of 23 Official Ballot Drop Boxes throughout the County. All Official Ballot Drop Boxes are open 24/7 until 8 p.m. on Election Day (June 2).
Take it to any open Vote Center in the County.
