Election Day In Rohnert Park-Cotati: Find Your Polling Place

ROHNERT PARK-COTATI, CA — Mail-in and early voting is already underway for the March 3 election in California. In addition to the presidential primary, California voters are deciding on Proposition 13, the largest bond in state history. Rohnert Park and Cotati voters are also tasked with deciding on: Measure G, a countywide sales-tax increase for wildfire prevention; Measure I, a countywide extension of a quarter-cent sales-tax increase that funds the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART); and which candidates they support in the races for Sonoma County Supervisor 3rd District; At-Large County Council Member, U.S. House of Representatives 2nd District, State Senate 3rd District and State Assembly 10th District.

Rohnert Park and Cotati residents who skipped the vote-by-mail option in favor of voting at the polls this Election Day should have a sample ballot that came in the mail and lists their designated polling place. Misplaced your sample ballot? That's OK. Between the county and the state, there are several ways to look up your polling place.

Here's a link to County of Sonoma Voter Information Lookup; follow the prompts to obtain your voter information guide, polling place and sample ballot.

Plus, registered voters — and residents seeking to register AND vote on Election Day — can cast their ballots from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 at the Sonoma County Election Office, 435 Fiscal Dr. in Santa Rosa.
