Election day for the statewide special election is next Tuesday (Nov. 4), but you don’t need to wait until then to cast your vote.

A Yolo County ballot drop-box is open 24/7 on Tennis Court Lane, adjacent to the Memorial Union Bus Terminal. Similar to dropping your ballot in the mail, deposit any California ballot in the box and it will be forwarded to your home county, even if you don’t live in Yolo County.

Those registered to vote in Yolo County can also vote in person at the Activities and Recreation Center, or ARC, starting Saturday (Nov. 1).

The vote center in the ARC’s meeting room 1 will be open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. through Nov. 3, and from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. on election day. A second vote center will open in the ARC ballroom for election day, also open 7 a.m.-8 p.m.

Visiting campus to cast your vote? Park in Lot 25 for up to 30 minutes at no cost — just check in with the ARC’s front desk and provide your license plate number. 

A full list of vote centers and ballot drop boxes in Yolo County is available online. If you live outside of Yolo County, find information from your county elections office. Everyone in California is voting on the Proposition 50 redistricting measure this year, and voters in some nearby areas, like El Dorado County, will consider additional measures.

Not registered to vote? California allows same-day registration, so you are able to register and cast a ballot up to and including Nov. 4.
