Greetings!
Did you know there are 11,246 registered voters here in American Canyon? As of today, less than 1,600 of those voters have returned their ballots. That is only 14%. American Canyon, we need you to vote!
This election is your opportunity to have your voices heard. The submitted ballots will select two City Council members who will represent all of American Canyon for the next four years. Those ballots will also decide who will serve American Canyon on the Napa Valley College Board. The final local choice those submitted ballots will make is concerning opportunities
(Measure H & Measure I) to increase the “hotel tax” on Napa Valley tourists to help pay for new workforce housing.
The items most relevant to American Canyon can be found at the end of the ballot. At a minimum, start there. Your vote will make a difference, even if you don't fill out your entire ballot. Take a few moments this weekend to fill in the bubbles of your choice and get your ballot in before 8 PM on Tuesday, November 6th. You can put it in the mail, drive through the convenient drop off at the Holiday Inn Express
Vote Center, or drop it off in the
ballot drop box in front of City Hall.
Every registered voter in American Canyon has an important voice in these decisions, and every single one will count.
