π¬Get Your Ballots in by November 5
Voting matters. The officials and measures on your ballot impact our country, state, communities and schools. Ballot measures can directly affect school funding and more.
Time is running out to vote in the November 5 general election. If you haven't yet, this weekend is a great time to review your ballot. Check trusted sources, make your choices, sign the envelope, and take it to a ballot drop box. If you are eligible, you can still register in person at a vote center until 8:00 p.m. on November 5.
