Feeling assured, but preparing for anything, Bay Area election officials are staffing up and making security plans for a safe and valid Nov. 5 general election.
'In Solano County, 90% of our voters are going to vote by mail,' said John Gardner, assistant registrar of voters in Solano County. 'Whether they put it in the mail or drop it off at one of our many dropoff locations or just dropping it off on election day.'According to data from the California Secretary of State, just 51.16% of ballots cast in the 2012 general election were mailed in, compared to 88.64% in 2022.
'Since we implemented the Voter's Choice Act, we are no longer required to publish the names of election workers,' said Marin County Registrar of Voters Lynda Roberts. The California Voter's Choice Act of 2016 made elections in the state more flexible by allowing early voting, mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and other changes. 'People's identities are protected from the public,' Roberts said.
