Election Day In Cotati: Where To Take Your Mail-In Ballots

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Due to the recent wildfires throughout Sonoma County, officials say local resources needed to conduct elections were redirected or became scarce. As such, California Gov. Jerry Brown issued an executive order declaring the election scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 7 will be conducted entirely by mail.

There are three local measures on the Sonoma County ballot Tuesday, affecting only the registered voters in those areas:

• Measure F - Wilmar Union School District Parcel Tax, Petaluma
• Measure G - City of Cotati Cannabis Industry Business Tax
• Measure H - Town of Windsor Urban Growth Boundary Renewal and Extension

Also in Sonoma County, two candidates, Tom Giacinto and William Doyle, are vying for one board seat on the Timber Cove County Water District, which serves the coastal community of Sea Ranch.

For those who have yet to return their ballot, there's good news. Completed ballots may be returned to the following locations before 8 p.m. on Election Day:

• Sonoma County Registrar of Voters Office, 435 Fiscal Dr., Santa Rosa
• Dropbox at Cotati City Hall, 201 W. Sierra Ave., Cotati
• Dropbox at Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building, 1351 Maple Ave., Santa Rosa
• Dropbox at Petaluma Veterans Memorial Building, 1094 Petaluma Blvd. South, Petaluma

Additionally, the county registrar's office has a 24-hour dropbox.

Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked before or on Election Day and delivered to the Registrar of Voters office via the U.S. Postal Service or a bonafide private mail delivery company no later than three days after Election Day.
