✅ GOT PHOTO ID?

✅ VOTE IN PERSON OR BY MAIL

• If you will be voting in person, make a plan and put it on your calendar. Vote early if at all possible.
• If you are eligible and wish to vote by mail, start the vote by mail steps by requesting you ballot as soon as possible.

✅ RESEARCH YOUR BALLOT

• Use VOTE411 by looking up your address to see the races that will be on your ballot and find nonpartisan information about the candidates and proposals you will be voting on.
• If you prefer a printed guide, find the League of Women Voters nonpartisan Voter Guides at public libraries and other locations around our area. If you have trouble finding a copy, please contact info@lwv-bayarea.org. 
• Attend or view candidates forums hosted by the League of Women Voters or by other public-service organizations in our area.
