Securing Voting on Election Day
|
Current law allows voters who are issued a Vote-By-Mail ballot to turn it in and vote at the polls on Election Day. Aside from wasting taxpayer resources, it has resulted in the possibility of a voter casting more than one ballot without immediate detection.
With many recent reports of voters across the state receiving multiple ballots, the Contra Costa Elections Division has reviewed and updated its processes at polling places to ensure election integrity and prevent double voting.
All voters who have been sent a Vote-By-Mail ballot are encouraged to vote and return that ballot either through the mail, using one of the 23 drop boxes (click here for locations
www.cocovote.us/ballot-drop-off), or at any polling place on Election Day. Requesting a second ballot on Election Day contributes to lines, delays, unnecessary costs as well as security concerns.
With the change in process, Vote-By-Mail voters who show up at their home polling place to vote will need to bring the ballot return envelope addressed to them as well as all six cards that comprise the ballot. Upon confirmation that the voter is in the right location and verification of the envelope and ballot cards, the voter signs a declaration and is offered a non-provisional ballot.
If a Vote-By-Mail voter is in the wrong location or cannot provide all of those items, the voter is issued a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot is the same as a “regular” ballot. The difference is that the Elections Division verifies that the voter has not already voted before the ballot is counted. In June 2018, 90 percent of the provisional ballots were counted after this review.
If a voter who previously requested to be mailed a ballot prefers to vote at the polls on Election Day in the future, they are encouraged to cancel their permanent vote by mail status by calling our office or re-registering.
The County Elections Division has worked very hard to make voting as convenient as possible. Most importantly – Please Vote!
For more information, contact the Elections Division at 925-335-7800 or visit

Supervisor Andersen Goes to Work at Arundo Creek Clean-up Day
More Volunteers Needed for 2nd Clean-up this Saturday, November 3rd
|
Supervisor Andersen and Danville Mayor Newell Arnerich joined the Walnut Creek Watershed Council, the Contra Costa County Flood Control District, and the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District to help remove the invasive plant Arundo donax from the San Ramon Creek at Hap Magee Ranch Park on October 20th.
Non-native Arundo donax is a growing problem in our watershed. Removing Arundo is tricky business, and requires volunteers working together, not only to cut the plant down, but to move the stalks out of the creek. Arundo can spread by floating downstream and taking root in in a new place.
Half of the Arundo was removed on October 20th, and more help is needed to finish clearing the patch. Volunteers can sign up to help by clicking here

Creek and Channel Safety Poster Contest
|
In 2011, two former Walnut Creek Intermediate students who had also attended Las Lomas High School, died in a tragic accident while attempting to raft in a local flood control channel. Since then the Flood Control District annually reaches out to all schools within the County to raise awareness of being safe around creeks and flood control channels.
Each year, in conjunction with the safety campaign, County Public Works holds a creek and channel safety poster contest at Walnut Creek Intermediate School. On October 11th, a Creek and channel safety assembly was conducted by Public Works that included demonstrations by ConFire, recognition of poster contest winners, and information on how to be safe around creeks and channels. Chief of Staff Gayle Israel attended the assembly and is photographed above with Captain Nick Sinosky from the Contra Costa Fire Protection District, Lia Bristol from Supervisor Karen Mitchoff's office, and some of the student poster contest winners.
