CONTRA COSTA COUNTY — Contra Costa voters should have received a County Voter Information Guide, and should receive ballots by May 20, the Contra Costa County Elections Division said. Ballots were mailed Monday. Anyone who does not receive a ballot in the mail by May 20 can email ballot@vote.cccounty.us, or call 925-335-7800.

All eligible voters will receive postage-paid vote-by-mail ballots. Voted ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received within seven days of the election.

Voters can also drop off ballots at one of the County’s 37 official drop boxes or at any in-person voting location. See here for a list of drop box locations.
