It's GO Time! Vote TINA for Monterey County Sheriff & Make History

Voting in Monterey County

All voters will receive a ballot by mail approximately 29 days before the election. Voters may return their ballot in the mail (postage is prepaid); to an official ballot return location in the state; or to any in-person voting location in the state, according to the Monterey County Elections Office.

To cast a ballot at the polls, voters must bring their vote by mail ballot with them. Any voter who does not have a ballot to surrender will be assisted with a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot will be counted as soon as the voter information on the envelope is verified and the voter is determined to be eligible to vote. 

How to Vote Using Paper Ballots

When voting with a paper ballot use a blue or black ink pen to fill in the oval next to the candidate’s name. Fill in the oval next to the word “YES” or “NO.” Sign and place in the envelope provided and place in your mailbox or take to a drop off location (see below).
