The City of Alameda began detailing the voting procedures for the November 3 election.

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters (ACROV) began mailing “Vote-by-Mail” ballots to registered voters on Oct. 5. Voters can mail in their ballots as soon as they are ready. No postage is needed. Envelopes must be signed and postmarked by Election Day and received by the ACROV no later than 17 days after the election.

Voters who do not want to mail in their ballot can drop it off at one of three Alameda “Vote-by-Mail” drop box locations: Alameda City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Ave.; College of Alameda, 555 Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway; and Bay Farm Island Library, 3221 Mecartney Road. The drop box locations will be open 24 hours a day until 8 p.m. on Election Day.

The City of Alameda has set up six accessible-voting locations: Gracepoint Church, 1275 Harbor Bay Parkway; Almanac Beer Co., 651 W. Tower Ave.; Lincoln Middle School, 1250 Fernside Blvd.; South Shore Center, 2130 Otis Dr.; Alameda High School, 2201 Encinal Ave.; and Island High School 500 Pacific Ave. The six polling locations will open on Saturday, Oct. 31 until Election Day.

Voters can also vote in-person now at the ACROV office, at 1225 Fallon St. The location is open to voters Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Election Day.
